Study Notes
Configure Static Host Routes
- Static host routes are manually configured to direct traffic to specific destination devices.
- For IPv4, use the destination IP address with a 255.255.255.255 (/32) mask; for IPv6, use a /128 prefix length.
- When configuring IPv6 static routes with a link-local next-hop, specify both the interface type and number.
- Automatically installed host routes are created when an IP address is configured on a router.
- Local host routes are marked with an "L" in the routing table and enhance packet processing efficiency.
Verify Static Host Routes
- Use
show ip routeandshow ipv6 routeto confirm that both IPv4 and IPv6 static host routes are active. - Additional verification commands include
show ip route static,show running-config | section ip route, andpingortraceroute.
Static and Default Static Routes
- A default static route matches all packets, ensuring they are directed appropriately in absence of a more specific route.
- Static routes can significantly improve routing efficiency by directing traffic based on specific needs.
IPv4 and IPv6 Routing Tables
- Routing tables for IPv4 and IPv6 contain entries for directly connected networks and associated local addresses.
- Notable routing table entries include connected routes ("C") and local routes ("L").
- Ensure routes are correctly identified and troubleshoot connectivity issues through ping tests.
New Terms and Commands
- Familiarity with routing terminology is crucial:
- Static Route: A pre-defined route manually set in the routing table.
- Default Static Route: A fallback route for unknown destinations.
- Next-Hop Route: Specifies the next device to which a packet is forwarded.
- Fully Specified Static Route: Includes both the link-local address and exit interface.
IPv6 Specifics
- Fully specified static routes are necessary for IPv6 link-local addresses due to their unique scope per link.
- Link-local addresses are not included in the routing table, necessitating the inclusion of exit interfaces in route configurations.
Best Practices
- Regularly verify static routes and configurations to ensure accurate and efficient network performance.
- Maintain proper documentation of static routes to facilitate easy troubleshooting and network management.
