Troubleshooting static route configuration

Troubleshooting static route configuration

6.1.6

This page will show students how to troubleshoot a static route configuration.
On an earlier page, students configured static routes on Hoboken to access networks on Sterling and Waycross.

In this configuration, nodes on the Sterling 172.16.1.0 network cannot reach nodes on the Waycross 172.16.5.0 network.

From privileged EXEC mode on the Sterling router, ping to a node on the 172.16.5.0 network.

The ping fails. Now use the traceroute command from Sterling to the address that was used in the ping statement.

Note where the traceroute fails. The traceroute indicates that the ICMP packet was returned from Hoboken but not from Waycross. This implies that the trouble exists either on Hoboken or Waycross.
Telnet to the Hoboken router. Try again to ping the node on the 172.16.5.0 network connected to the Waycross router.

This ping should succeed because Hoboken is directly connected to Waycross.
The Lab Activities on this page will teach students how to configure static routes for data transfer without dynamic routing protocols.
This page concludes this lesson. The next lesson will explain dynamic routing. The first page provides an overview of routing protocols.

OSI layers / Peer-to-peer communications / TCP/IP model

OSI layers 2.3.4 This page discusses the seven layers of the OSI model. The OSI reference model is a framework that is used to understand how information travels throughout a network. The OSI reference model explains how packets travel through the various layers to another device on a network, even if the sender and destination have different types of network media. In the OSI reference model, there are seven numbered layers, each of which illustrates a particular network function. - Dividing the network into seven layers provides the following advantages: • It breaks network communication into smaller, more manageable parts. • It standardizes network components to allow multiple vendor development and support. • It allows different types of network hardware and software to communicate with each other. • It prevents changes in one layer from affecting other layers. • It divides network communication into smaller parts to make learning it easier to understand. In the foll...

• Backplane – A backplane is an electronic circuit board containing circuitry and sockets into which additional electronic devices on other circuit boards or cards can be plugged; in a computer, generally synonymous with or part of the motherboard. • Network interface card (NIC) – An expansion board inserted into a computer so that the computer can be connected to a network. • Video card – A board that plugs into a PC to give it display capabilities. • Audio card – An expansion board that enables a computer to manipulate and output sounds. • Parallel port – An interface capable of transferring more than one bit simultaneously that is used to connect external devices such as printers. • Serial port – An interface that can be used for serial communication in which only one bit is transmitted at a time. • Mouse port – A port used to connect a mouse to a PC. • USB port – A Universal Serial Bus connector. A USB port connects devices such as a mouse or printer to the computer ...

OSPF network types

OSPF network types 2.2.5 This page will introduce the three types of OSPF networks. A neighbor relationship is required for OSPF routers to share routing information. A router will try to become adjacent, or neighbor, to at least one other router on each IP network to which it is connected. OSPF routers determine which routers to become adjacent to based on the type of network they are connected to. Some routers may try to become adjacent to all neighbor routers. Other routers may try to become adjacent to only one or two neighbor routers. Once an adjacency is formed between neighbors, link-state information is exchanged. OSPF interfaces automatically recognize three types of networks: Broadcast multi-access, such as Ethernet Point-to-point networks Nonbroadcast multi-access (NBMA), such as Frame Relay A fourth type, point-to-multipoint, can be manually configured on an interface by an administrator. In a multi-access network, it is not known in a...
