Static routes not working

[newbie7777]

Hi,

I have just started studying a CCNA and I am using cisco packet tracer. I have followed the setup as per instructions but for some reason the static routes are not working. I have a simple setup of 2 routers connected together and then to separate networks. I have added static routes to reach those networks on the neighbour routers but using the IP address of the r2 fa 0/0 - 10.5.2.2/24  which is connected to the 10.5.3.0/24 network that I am trying to reach that is connected to r1 that I am trying to ping from. I have tried using a tracert while pinging 10.5.3.50 the ping gets to 10.5.2.2 and stops there. Am I missing something?

Router 1-

10.0.0.0/24 is subnetted, 3 subnets

C 10.5.1.0 is directly connected, FastEthernet0/1

C 10.5.2.0 is directly connected, FastEthernet0/0

S 10.5.3.0 [1/0] via 10.5.2.2

Router 2-

10.0.0.0/24 is subnetted, 3 subnets

S 10.5.1.0 [1/0] via 10.5.2.1

is directly connected, FastEthernet0/0

C 10.5.2.0 is directly connected, FastEthernet0/0

C 10.5.3.0 is directly connected, FastEthernet0/1

any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

Make sure the switch ports connecting router and PCs are in same Vlan. Also, make sure PCs (looks like one side is fine) got correct mask and gateway set. Try ping from 3.50 to its gateway.

Hi

Your configuration should be:

Router0

ip route 10.5.3.0 255.255.255.0 10.5.2.2

Router1

ip route 10.5.1.0 255.255.255.0 10.5.2.1 

Now if you are trying with ping verify if the computers have the proper gateway IP configured. 

PC0:

IP 10.5.1.50

mask: 255.255.255.0

Gateway 10.5.1.1

PC1:

IP 10.5.3.50

mask: 255.255.255.0

Gateway 10.5.3.1

Hello,

on a side note, you can also post the Packet Tracer file. You need to rename the .pkt file to a .jpg file first in order to post it.
