Lab 07 : Configure Static Route in GNS3
Static route tells the device exactly where to send traffic, no matter what.
Static route is often used when your network has only a few routers or there is only one route from a source to a destination.
Syntax of static route
ip route destination-network-address subnet-mask {next-hop-IP-address | exit-interface}destination-network-address: destination network address of the remote network
subnet mask: subnet mask of the destination network
next-hop-IP-address: the IP address of the receiving interface on the next-hop router
exit-interface: the local interface of this router where the packets will go out
1. Scenario
Suppose that your company has 2 branches located in Tehran and Shiraz.
As the administrator of the network, you are tasked to connect them so that employees in the two LANs can communicate with each other.
After careful consideration you decided to connect them via static route.
