Basic static route configuration example

As shown in Figure 2, configure static routes on the switches for interconnections between any two hosts.

1. Configure IP addresses for interfaces. (Details not shown.)

2. Configure static routes:

   # Configure a default route on Switch A.

   <SwitchA> system-view
   [SwitchA] ip route-static 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 1.1.4.2
   

   # Configure two static routes on Switch B.

   <SwitchB> system-view
   [SwitchB] ip route-static 1.1.2.0 255.255.255.0 1.1.4.1
   [SwitchB] ip route-static 1.1.3.0 255.255.255.0 1.1.5.6
   

   # Configure a default route on Switch C.

   <SwitchC> system-view
   [SwitchC] ip route-static 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 1.1.5.5
   

3. Configure the default gateways of Host A, Host B, and Host C as 1.1.2.3, 1.1.6.1, and 1.1.3.1. (Details not shown.)

# Display static routes on Switch A.

[SwitchA] display ip routing-table protocol static

# Use the ping command on Host B to test the reachability of Host A (Windows XP runs on the two hosts).

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>ping 1.1.2.2
