Sure, here's a lab exercise for implementing static routes between multiple routers:

### Lab: Implementing Static Routes Between Multiple Routers

#### Objective: Configure static routes on multiple Cisco routers to establish connectivity between different networks.

#### Topology: ```

       [Router A] -- [Router B] -- [Router C]
          |           |            |
     [Network A]  [Network B]   [Network C]

```

#### Steps:

1. Assign IP Addresses:

1. Assign IP addresses to each router interface and the connected networks.
2. Ensure that each router can ping its directly connected interfaces.

2. Configure Static Routes:

1. On Router A:

```

   RouterA(config)# ip route <destination_network_B> <subnet_mask_B> <next_hop_RouterB_IP>
   RouterA(config)# ip route <destination_network_C> <subnet_mask_C> <next_hop_RouterB_IP>
   ```
 - On Router B:
   ```
   RouterB(config)# ip route <destination_network_A> <subnet_mask_A> <next_hop_RouterA_IP>
   RouterB(config)# ip route <destination_network_C> <subnet_mask_C> <next_hop_RouterC_IP>
   ```
 - On Router C:
   ```
   RouterC(config)# ip route <destination_network_A> <subnet_mask_A> <next_hop_RouterB_IP>
   RouterC(config)# ip route <destination_network_B> <subnet_mask_B> <next_hop_RouterB_IP>
   ```

3. Verify Connectivity:

1. Test connectivity between devices in different networks using ping tests.
2. From a device in Network A, ping devices in Network B and Network C.
3. Repeat the ping tests from devices in Network B and Network C.

4. Verify Routing Tables:

1. On each router, use the `show ip route` command to verify the routing table.
2. Ensure that static routes are correctly configured and appear in the routing table.

5. Test Redundancy:

1. Shutdown the interface connected between Router B and Router C temporarily.
2. Observe how the routing tables on Router A and Router C update to reroute traffic through Router A.

6. Restore Connectivity:

1. Bring up the interface between Router B and Router C.
2. Verify that the routing tables on all routers update to restore normal connectivity.

#### Conclusion: This lab exercise provides hands-on experience with configuring static routes between multiple routers in a network topology. By completing this exercise, you will gain practical knowledge of configuring static routes, verifying connectivity, and observing routing table updates in response to network changes. Additionally, you will understand the importance of static routing in establishing connectivity and providing redundancy in a network environment.
