Video of Static route configuration Network Fundamentals Part 18 in Networking Fundamentals course by Network Direction channel, video No. 19 free certified online
Anyone who’s interested in networking should be interested in routing. It’s one of the core functions that we need to work with.
‘Routing’ is how a router (or multi-layer switch) will forward packets through the network. The router will build a routing table, where it puts routes. A route is a pointer to a network. It says ‘for this network, send traffic this way…’
Each router has a routing table, and each router needs to make its own decisions around how packets should be forwarded. These decisions will depend on the contents of the routing table.
One of the ways we can ‘populate’ the routing table is to configure static routes. These are configured with the ‘ip route’ command. Another way is to use dynamic routing, which is covered in the next video.
Just like PC’s, routers can have a default gateway, also known as a ‘gateway of last resort’. This is a ‘catch-all’ route that is used to forward traffic that doesn’t match any other more specific rule.
Be sure to check out the labs (links below) if you want to try this out yourself.
