Questions and Answers
R1 will drop the packet if it does not match a route table entry.
True
When addressing a packet to PC3, PC1 sends it directly without using a default gateway.
False
If a destination IP address matches a static route entry, R1 will use that static route to identify the next-hop IP address.
True
R1 encapsulates the packet in a new frame before forwarding it to R2.

Study Notes
Module Objectives
- Understand packet processing when static routes are configured.
- Identify and troubleshoot common issues with static and default route configurations.
Packet Processing with Static Routes
- A router processes packets by checking the destination address against the routing table.
- If a packet's destination matches a static route, the router uses it to find the next-hop address or exit interface.
- If there's no match to a specific route, the default static route (if configured) is used.
- If still unmatched, the packet is dropped, and an ICMP message is sent back to the sender.
- When forwarding, routers encapsulate packets in new frames as they travel through multiple interfaces toward the destination.
Troubleshooting IPv4 Static and Default Route Configuration
- Network issues can arise from interface failures, dropped connections, saturated links, or improper configurations.
- Network administrators must utilize effective tools and commands for diagnosing routing problems.
Common Troubleshooting Commands
- ping: Tests Layer 3 connectivity; extended options are available for deeper analysis.
- traceroute: Determines the path to a destination network using ICMP echo replies.
- show ip route: Displays the routing table to verify available routes for specific destination IPs.
- show ip interface brief: Provides the operational status of device interfaces and their associated IP addresses.
- show cdp neighbors: Lists directly connected Cisco devices, useful for Layer 1 and Layer 2 connectivity checks.
Solving Connectivity Problems
- Example scenario: Connectivity fails from PC1 to PC3, diagnosing involves:
- Extended pings from R1 to PC3 failing, while successful pings occur between R1, R2, and R3.
- Analyzing R2's routing table indicated a missing default route and incorrect static route entries.
- Correcting the static route resolves the connectivity issue.
Module Practice and Quiz
- Packets sent from one host to another go to a default gateway where they are decapsulated.
- The router checks routing table entries; if found, it encapsulates and forwards the packet accordingly.
- At the receiving network, the destination router finds the matching Ethernet interface and uses the ARP protocol to determine the MAC address of the destination host.
- If no ARP entry exists, a request is sent, and upon receiving the reply, the router encapsulates the packet in a new frame for forwarding.
- Key commands for troubleshooting included: ping, traceroute, show ip route, show ip interface brief, and show cdp neighbors detail.
