Couple issues: PC 0 default .gateway is 10.132.200.1 but that is IP on sw 1 in vl 200 and not on sw0 which is directly connected to PC0 via L2 sw. You can move PC 0 to sw 1 and add new PC to sw L2 in the subnet of sw 0 Vlan32. Or change IP add and d.g. of PC0 and add new PC 1 to sw 1 in vlan 200. Usually you should have end device default gateway to nearest L3 device IP, not remote device.
YOur PC0 ping goes via L2 to Sw 0, then to Sw 1 and back to Sw 0 to reach router 0. now we may have issues at router.
2nd, all your subnets are /24 but static route is /16 ,
ip route 10.132.0.0 255.255.0.0
is like a summary route; You can say purpose of summary route is different from purpose of static routes. However, Rule of routing is that routers know about its directly connected interfaces, so no need for static routes or any routing between/among directly connected subnets. Your router would need static route for 10.132.200.0 /24 out of G0/0 but not for 10.132.32.0/24 which is directly connected.
3rd, Sw 0 is not doing any routing right now, it is L2 sw since you did not turn on
ip routing
(could be silly mistake). That type of L3 switch in PT needs to have
ip routing
command to be added unlike other L3. So, following commands do nothing
ip route 10.132.0.0 255.255.0.0 10.132.32.2 and default route ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.132.32.10
on sw 0. Furthermore,L2 switch should have Default gateway assigned and up up but your Sw0 has none. Default gateway is not set; Finally, you could add default route of
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0
on L3 edge devices and typically those who point to ISP and the Internet.
So, Why When static route on Router0 to point to 10.132.32.2 (sw1) instead of 10.132.32.1 (sw0), the ping is successful? Traffic stalls at Sw 0 right now. PC 0 ping get to Router0, but return ping back to PC fails; stalls at sw 0. When you ping, Router looks at IP routing table first, then at its arp cache; Based on routing table, next hop IP is figured out, then ARP MAC address must be discovered to match IP (ARP l3 to l2 mappings). In your case, destination IP of 200.10 is via IP of 10.132.32.1, which is on Sw0; Now, router needs L2 MAC of destination. this is Ethernet destination MAC points to Sw0 interface Vlan32. But without ip routing on switch, ping stops here (it is not pass on to l3). Note that ARP table must have l3 to L2 mapping before any type of traffic is successful.
In case of Router0 static route pointing to 10.132.32.2, ARp resolution on router 0 will point to sw1 interface vlan 32. Packets just roll over L2 sw 0 to reach sw 1.
Router0#sh ip arp
Protocol Address Age (min) Hardware Addr Type Interface
Internet 10.132.32.1 32 0009.7C86.DA01 ARPA GigabitEthernet0/0
Internet 10.132.32.2 30 0002.1737.9B01 ARPA GigabitEthernet0/0
Router0#sh ip ro 10.132.200.10
Routing entry for 10.132.0.0/16
Known via "static", distance 1, metric 0
Routing Descriptor Blocks:
* 10.132.32.1
In summary, what is dest. IP way out?
show ip route / show ip cef
; then what is MAC address of destination? This is L2 to L3 ARP table or cache. Once we have dest. MAC, frame is build and packets can be forwarded out.
