Packet Tracer Static Routing

Tasks:
Solve the problem according to the topologies using static routing

a) Rename the routers (R0,R1,R2) according to the topology.

b) Provide passwords in User EXEC mode ("123") and Privilege mode ("cisco")
c) Assign IPs to the each host according to the network address
d) Do static routing
e) Configure DNS and HTTP server
f) Make an webpage ("www.aiub.edu") in HTTP server; which will print Welcome to
AIUB
g) Access to the HTTP webpage through each host
h) make email server configuration (yahoo.com) and create different users account and use
the password same as their name
I) Send and receive email from all users

Static Routing
Configuring a Static Route
This example shows how to configure a static route:
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# ip route 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 192.168.3.1
Router(config)# copy running-config startup-config

Use the no static-route command to remove the static route.

Please practice router configuration and debugging (Show) commands (uploaded in views)

Difference Between Static and Dynamic Routing

Static routing manually sets up optimal paths between the source and destination computers. On the
other hand, dynamic routing uses dynamic protocols to update the routing table and to find the optimal
path between the source and the destination computers.
Routers that use static routing do not have any controlling mechanism if they come across any faults
in the routing paths. These routers do not sense faulty computers encountered while finding the path
between two computers or routers in a network. Dynamic routing algorithms can sense a faulty router in
the network. Also, dynamic routers eliminate the faulty router and find out another optimal path from the
source to the destination. If any router is down or faulty due to certain reasons, this fault is circulated in
the entire network. Due to this quality of dynamic routers, they are also called adaptive routers.
Static routing is suitable for very small networks; they cannot be used in large networks. As against
this, dynamic routing is used for larger networks. Manual routing has no specific routing algorithm.
Dynamic routers are based on various routing algorithms like OSPF (Open Shortest Path First), IGRP
(Interior Gateway Routing Protocol) and RIP (Routing Information Protocol).
Static routing is the simplest way of routing data packets from a source to a destination in a network.
Dynamic routing uses complex algorithms for routing data packets.
Static routers have an advantage as they require minimal memory. Dynamic routers, however, have
quite a few memory overheads, depending on the algorithms used.
In case of static routing, network administrators find out the optimal path and make changes in the
routing table. In dynamic routing, the algorithm and the protocol is responsible for routing the packets
and making the changes accordingly in the routing table.
