Working with recursive static routes

- Next I will demonstrate how to configure…a recursive static route on the West router.…A recursive static route is used to identify…a next hop router where packets will be sent…on their path to the intended destination.…A recursive static route requires two routing table lookups.…First the router must check the routing table…for the destination network, and then it will try to find…an exit interface that points…to the next hop router as configured.…

In this particular topology, the goal is to configure…a recursive static route on the West router…that points to the LAN off of the East router.…That's the 192.168.5.0 network.…I will do this by using a next hop IP address…pointing to the serial 000 interface…on the North router.…That interface has been configured with the IP address…of 192.168.2.2.…

Let me demonstrate how to do that now.…First click on the West router.…Click on the CLI tab and expand the window.…Hit Enter.…My password is myconsolepassword…Then I type ena,…mysecretpassword.…I go ahead and configure…from the terminal.…
