2.4.1.1 Class Activity – Make It Static! (Instructor Version – Optional Lab)
Instructor Note: Red font color or gray highlights indicate text that appears in the instructor copy only. Optional activities are designed to enhance understanding and/or to provide additional practice.
Objectives
Configure a static route.
This modeling activity reviews content from the curriculum regarding how default static routes are written and configured for IPv6 network addresses.
As the use of IPv6 addressing becomes more prevalent, it is important for network administrators to be able to direct network traffic between routers.
To prove that you are able to direct IPv6 traffic correctly and review the IPv6 default static route curriculum concepts, use the topology as shown in the .pdf file provided, specifically for this activity. Work with a partner to write an IPv6 statement for each of the three scenarios. Try to write the route statements without the assistance of completed labs, Packet Tracer files, etc.
Scenario 1
IPv6 default static route from R2 directing all data through your S0/0/0 interface to the next hop address on R1.
Scenario 2
IPv6 default static route from R3 directing all data through your S0/0/1 interface to the next hop address on R2.
Scenario 3
IPv6 default static route from R2 directing all data through your S0/0/1 interface to the next hop address on R3.
When complete, get together with another group and compare your written answers. Discuss any differences found in your comparisons.
