Static Routing Lab Report

The project involved designing and configuring a network with four routers and static routing to enable communication between PCs across different LANs. Each router was assigned specific IP addresses and static routes were manually configured to connect the LANs. Testing confirmed successful communication between all PCs, demonstrating the effectiveness of static routing in a small network setup.

Static Routing – Cisco Packet Tracer Project Report

Objective:
To design and configure a network using four routers and implement static routing so that
all PCs across different LANs can communicate with each other.

Network Overview:
This topology consists of:
- 4 routers (Router4 to Router7) connected in a linear topology.
- 4 LANs, each with a /24 subnet and two PCs connected via a switch.
- Inter-router links use point-to-point subnets (/30) for efficient IP usage.

IP Addressing Scheme:

LAN Networks:
Router Interface LAN IP Connected PCs
R4 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.0/24 PC0 (1.2), PC1 (1.3)
R5 192.168.2.1 192.168.2.0/24 PC2 (2.2), PC3 (2.3)
R6 192.168.3.1 192.168.3.0/24 PC4 (3.2), PC5 (3.3)
R7 192.168.4.1 192.168.4.0/24 PC6 (4.2), PC7 (4.3)

WAN (Router-to-Router) Links:


From Router To Router Network IPs Used
R4 R5 11.0.0.0/30 R4: 11.0.0.2, R5:
11.0.0.3
R5 R6 12.0.0.0/30 R5: 12.0.0.2, R6:
12.0.0.3
R6 R7 13.0.0.0/30 R6: 13.0.0.2, R7:
13.0.0.3

Configuration Steps Summary:

Router Interface Configuration:


Each router was configured with:
- One LAN-facing interface (192.168.X.1)
- One or two WAN interfaces (11.0.0.x, 12.0.0.x, etc.)
- 'no shutdown' to activate interfaces

Static Routing:
Each router was manually configured with static routes to reach other LANs.

Example (on Router4):


ip route 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0 11.0.0.3
ip route 192.168.3.0 255.255.255.0 11.0.0.3
ip route 192.168.4.0 255.255.255.0 11.0.0.3

PC Configuration:
Each PC was assigned:
- A static IP in the correct subnet
- Default gateway as the local router interface (e.g. 192.168.2.1)

Testing & Verification:


- Ping from PC0 (192.168.1.2) to PC7 (192.168.4.3) was successful.
- All intermediate routers successfully forwarded packets via the static routing paths.
- ping, tracert, and simulation mode were used to verify the flow.

Conclusion:
Static routing works best for small or manually managed networks. This experiment
demonstrated how routers only forward to known networks, and how static routes must be
explicitly configured to build a complete path. Each router now has a complete routing
table, manually constructed, to reach all LANs.
