Objective
Manually configure routing paths between routers using static routes.
Lab Topology
R1 (10.0.0.1) -- R2 (10.0.0.2)
R1 LAN: 192.168.1.0/24 | R2 LAN: 192.168.2.0/24
Task 1 – Configure Static Route on R1
Tell R1 how to reach R2's LAN.
R1(config)# ip route 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0 10.0.0.2
Task 2 – Configure Default Route on R2
Configure a default route on R2 to send all unknown traffic to R1.
R2(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.0.0.1
Task 3 – Verification
R1# show ip route static S 192.168.2.0/24 [1/0] via 10.0.0.2 R2# show ip route static S* 0.0.0.0/0 [1/0] via 10.0.0.1
