Study Notes
Module Overview
- Objectives include configuring static routes for both IPv4 and IPv6, default static routes, floating static routes, and static host routes.
Types of Static Routes
- Static routes are widely used even in networks with dynamic routing protocols.
- Types of static routes supported for both IPv4 and IPv6:
- Standard static route
- Default static route
- Floating static route
- Summary static route
- Configuration commands:
ip routefor IPv4 andipv6 routefor IPv6.
Next-Hop Options
- Next hop for a static route can be identified by:
- An IP address
- An exit interface
- Both IP address and exit interface
- Example command to view route:
-
show ip routecan reveal next hop details.
-
IPv4 and IPv6 Routing Tables
- Routing tables initially contain only directly connected networks and local addresses.
- Demonstrates successful pings to connected addresses and failures towards inaccessible networks.
Configuration of Static Routes
-
IPv6 Directly Connected Static Route:
- Example: Using exit interface for point-to-point configurations.
-
IPv4 Fully Specified Static Route:
- Both exit interface and next-hop IP address must be provided especially on multi-access interfaces.
-
IPv6 Fully Specified Static Route:
- Required when using link-local addresses, since they are not stored in the routing table.
Verification of Static Routes
- Useful commands for verification include:
-
show ip route static -
show ipv6 route static -
show running-config | section ip route
-
Default Static Routes
- A default route matches all packets and acts as a Gateway of Last Resort.
- Commonly used to connect edge routers to service provider networks or stub routers.
- Default route command syntax:
- IPv4:
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 {next-hop | exit-intf} - IPv6:
ipv6 route ::/0 {next-hop | exit-intf}
- IPv4:
Important Notes
- Both IPv4 and IPv6 static routes share similar length and syntactical structures in configuration.
- Understanding of static routing is foundational for effective network management and operation.
