In the section "Configuring Static Routes", static routes were configured on Hoboken to make networks 172.16.1.0 on Sterling and 172.16.5.0 on Waycross accessible . Using this configuration, nodes on Sterling’s 172.16.1.0 network cannot reach nodes on the 172.16.5.0 network. From privileged EXEC mode on the Sterling router, execute a ping to a node on the 172.16.5.0 network. The ping fails. Now run a traceroute from Sterling to the same address used in the previous 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.

Lab Activity Lab Exercise: Configuring Static Routes In this lab, the students will configure static routes between routers to allow data transfer between routers without the use of dynamic routing protocols.
