Tasks

Task 1

  • Configure a host route on R5 for the destination of 10.200.220.6.
  • Configure a static default route on R1 preferring the path through R3 towards R6.
  • From R5, use traceroute and ping to verify the path towards and reachability of R6.

Task 2

  • Configure a floating static default route on R1, preferring the path through R2 towards R6 if the link to R3 should fail.
  • Configure the administrative distance for 225.
  • Configure a static route on R2 to forward the return traffic towards 10.100.110.0/25.
  • After shutting interface e0/1 on R1, use traceroute and ping from R5 to verify path towards and reachability of R6.

Answer

Task 1

R5(config)# ip route 10.200.220.6 255.255.255.255 10.100.110.1
R1(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.133.13.2
R5# traceroute 10.200.220.6
R5# ping 10.200.220.6

Task 2
