Example for Configuring IPv4 Static Routes

Networking Requirements

In Figure 1, PC1, PC2, and PC3 are on different network segments, and are connected through SwitchA, SwitchB, and SwitchC. Any two PCs must be connected using static routes to communicate with each other without using dynamic routing protocols.

Figure 1 Configuring IPv4 static routes

Configuration Roadmap

The configuration roadmap is as follows:

  1. Create VLANs, add interfaces to VLANs, and assign IPv4 addresses to VLANIF interfaces so that neighboring devices can communicate with each other.
  2. Configure an IPv4 default gateway on each PC, and configure IPv4 static routes or default static routes on each Switch so that any two PCs on different network segments can communicate with each other.

Procedure

  1. Create VLANs and add interfaces to the VLANs.

    # Configure SwitchA. The configurations of SwitchB and SwitchC are similar to the configuration of SwitchA.

    <HUAWEI> system-view
    [HUAWEI] sysname SwitchA
    [SwitchA] vlan batch 10 30
    [SwitchA] interface gigabitethernet 0/0/1
    [SwitchA-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] port link-type trunk
    [SwitchA-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] port trunk allow-pass vlan 10
    [SwitchA-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] quit
    [SwitchA] interface gigabitethernet 0/0/2
    [SwitchA-GigabitEthernet0/0/2] port link-type access
    [SwitchA-GigabitEthernet0/0/2] port default vlan 30
    [SwitchA-GigabitEthernet0/0/2] quit

  2. Assign IPv4 addresses to VLANIF interfaces.

    # Configure SwitchA. The configurations of SwitchB and SwitchC are similar to the configuration of SwitchA.

    [SwitchA] interface vlanif 10
    [SwitchA-Vlanif10] ip address 10.1.4.1 30
    [SwitchA-Vlanif10] quit
    [SwitchA] interface vlanif 30
    [SwitchA-Vlanif30] ip address 10.1.1.1 24
    [SwitchA-Vlanif30] quit

  3. Configure PCs.

    Set the default gateway addresses of PC1, PC2, and PC3 to 10.1.1.1, 10.1.2.1, and 10.1.3.1 respectively.

  4. Configure IPv4 static routes.

    # Configure a default IPv4 static route on SwitchA.

    [SwitchA] ip route-static 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.1.4.2

    # Configure two IPv4 static routes on SwitchB.

    [SwitchB] ip route-static 10.1.1.0 255.255.255.0 10.1.4.1
    [SwitchB] ip route-static 10.1.3.0 255.255.255.0 10.1.4.6

    # Configure a default IPv4 static route on SwitchC.

    [SwitchC] ip route-static 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.1.4.5

  5. Verify the configuration.

    # Check the IP routing table on SwitchA.

    [SwitchA] display ip routing-table
    Route Flags: R - relay, D - download to fib, T - to vpn-instance
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Routing Tables: Public
             Destinations : 7        Routes : 7

            0.0.0.0/0    Static 60   0        RD    10.1.4.2     Vlanif10
            10.1.1.0/24  Direct 0    0         D    10.1.1.1     Vlanif30
            10.1.1.1/32  Direct 0    0         D    127.0.0.1    Vlanif30
            10.1.4.0/30  Direct 0    0         D    10.1.4.1     Vlanif10
            10.1.4.1/32  Direct 0    0         D    127.0.0.1    Vlanif10
          127.0.0.0/8    Direct 0    0         D    127.0.0.1    InLoopBack0
          127.0.0.1/32   Direct 0    0         D    127.0.0.1    InLoopBack0
    

    # Run the ping command to verify the connectivity.
