This guide explains how to set up the network shown in your topology using static routing and the steps to
add ports to routers if needed.
1. Add Devices:
3 routers, 3 switches, and 6 PCs from the device list into the workspace.
2. Connect Devices:
o Use the Copper Cross-Over cable to connect the routers directly (e.g., Router0 to Router1,
Router1 to Router2).
o Turn off the router by clicking the power button (a red button).
2. Add Modules:
o In the Physical tab, locate the list of available modules (on the left side of the window).
o Drag and drop the desired module (e.g., HWIC-2T for serial ports or GigabitEthernet
Module) into an empty slot on the router.
o After adding the module, click the power button again to turn the router back on.
o Go to the CLI or Config tab and check for new ports (e.g., GigabitEthernet0/2 or
Serial0/0/0).
arduino
Copy code
Router> enable
Router(config-if)# no shutdown
Router(config-if)# exit
Router(config-if)# no shutdown
Router(config-if)# exit
Router1:
GigabitEthernet0/0 → 192.168.4.2
GigabitEthernet0/1 → 192.168.5.1
Router2:
GigabitEthernet0/0 → 192.168.5.2
GigabitEthernet0/1 → 192.168.3.3
1. Access PC Configuration:
Default Gateway: IP of the router's connected interface (e.g., 192.168.1.1 for PC0).
Static routing allows devices from different subnets to communicate. Configure static routes on each router
as follows:
arduino
Copy code
Router0> enable
arduino
Copy code
Router1> enable
arduino
Copy code
Router2> enable
1. Use the Ping Tool in Packet Tracer or the Command Prompt from the PCs to test connectivity
between devices in different subnets:
3. Use the show ip route command on routers to verify the routing table:
shell
Copy code
Ensure all router interfaces and ports are in an active state (no shutdown command).
This setup establishes full communication between all PCs in different subnets through static routing.
