6.1 Introduction to Static Routing  
  6.1.5 Verifying static route configuration  
After static routes are configured it is important to verify that they are present in the routing table and that routing is working as expected. The command show running-config is used to view the active configuration in RAM to verify that the static route was entered correctly. The show ip route command is used to make sure that the static route is present in the routing table.

Use the following steps to verify static route configuration:

  • In privileged mode enter the command show running-config to view the active configuration.
  • Verify that the static route has been correctly entered. If the route is not correct, it will be necessary to go back into global configuration mode to remove the incorrect static route and enter the correct one.
  • Enter the command show ip route.
  • Verify that the route that was configured is in the routing table.
