Basic static route configuration example

Network requirements

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

Figure 2: Network diagram

Configuration procedure

  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.)

Verifying the configuration

# 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).
