Packet Tracer - Configuring IPv4 Static and Default Routes
Background/Scenario
In this activity, you will configure static and default routes. A static route is a route that is entered manually by the network administrator to create a route that is reliable and safe. There are four different static routes that are used in this activity: a recursive static route, a directly connected static route, a fully specified static route, and a default route.
Lab - Configuring IPv4 Static and Default Routes
In this lab, you will complete the following objectives:
• Part 1: Set Up the Topology and Initialize Devices
• Part 2: Configure Basic Device Settings and Verify Connectivity
• Part 3: Configure Static Routes
• Part 4: Configure and Verify a Default Route
The ipv6 route Command
Static routes for IPv6 are configured using theipv6 route global configuration command. Figure 1 shows the simplified version of the command syntax:
Router(config)# ipv6 route ipv6-prefix/prefix-length { ipv6-address |exit-intf }
Most of parameters are identical to the IPv4 version of the command. IPv6 static routes can also be implemented as:
• Standard IPv6 static route
• Default IPv6 static route
• Summary IPv6 static route
• Floating IPv6 static route
As with IPv4, these routes can be configured as recursive, directly connected, or fully specified.
The ipv6 unicast-routing global configuration command must be configured to enable the router to forward IPv6 packets. Figure 2 displays the enabling of IPv6 unicast routing.
Use the Syntax Checker in Figures 3 and 4 to enable IPv6 unicast routing on R2 and R3.
