Configure network topology and implement static routing using
Packet Tracer Software
Static routing is a routing protocol that helps to keep your network organized and to
optimize routing performance. It enables the router to assign a specific path to each
network segment and to keep track of network changes. This helps to improve
network stability and continuity. This adds security because a single administrator can
only authorize routing to particular networks. Steps to Configure and Verify Two
Router Connections in Cisco Packet Tracer :
Step 1 : First, open the cisco packet tracer desktop and select the devices given below:
[Link] Device Model Name Qty.
1. PC PC 4
2. Switch PT-Switch 2
3. Router PT-Router 2
IP Addressing Table For PCs:
[Link] Device IPv4 Address Subnet Mask Default Gateway
1. pc0 [Link] [Link] [Link]
2. pc1 [Link] [Link] [Link]
3. pc2 [Link] [Link] [Link]
4. pc3 [Link] [Link] [Link]
● Then, create a network topology as shown below the image.
● Use an Automatic connecting cable to connect the devices with others.

Correction: Default Gateway in 2nd network is [Link]
Step 2: Configure the PCs (hosts) with IPv4 address and Subnet Mask according to the IP
addressing table given above.
● To assign an IP address in PC0, click on PC0.
● Then, go to desktop and then IP configuration and there you will IPv4 configuration.
● Fill IPv4 address and subnet mask.

Step 3: Assigning IP address using the ipconfig command.
● We can also assign an IP address with the help of a command.
● Go to the command terminal of the PC.
● Then, type ipconfig <IPv4 address><subnet mask><default gateway>(if needed)

Example: ipconfig [Link] [Link] [Link]
● Repeat the same procedure with other PCs to configure them thoroughly. Step
4: Configure router with IP address and subnet mask.
[Link] Device Interface IPv4 Addressing Subnet Mask
router0 FastEthernet0/0 [Link]
[Link]
Serial2/0 [Link]
1. [Link]
[Link]
FastEthernet0/0 [Link]
2. router1 Serial2/0 [Link] [Link] ● To
assign an IP address in router0, click on router0.
● Then, go to config and then Interfaces.
● Then, configure the IP address in FastEthernet and serial ports according to IP addressing
Table.
● Fill IPv4 address and subnet mask.

● Repeat the same procedure with other routers to configure them thoroughly. Step 5: After
configuring all of the devices we need to assign the routes to the routers. To assign static
routes to the particular router:
● First, click on router0 then Go to CLI.
● Then type the commands and IP information given below. CLI command : ip route
<network id> <subnet mask><next hop> Static Routes for Router0 are given below:
Router(config)#ip route [Link] [Link] [Link] Static
Routes for Router1 are given below:

Router(config)#ip route [Link] [Link] [Link]
Step 6: Verifying the network by pinging the IP address of any PC. We will use the ping
command to do so.
● First, click on PC1 then Go to the command prompt
● Then type ping <IP address of targeted node>
● As we can see in the below image we are getting replies which means the connection is
working very fine
● Example : ping [Link]
