Sure, here are a few practical examples of static routing configurations on Cisco routers:

1. Basic Static Route:

 
 Configure a basic static route to reach a specific destination network through a next-hop router:
 ```
 Router(config)# ip route 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0 10.1.1.1
 ```
 This command directs traffic destined for the network 192.168.2.0/24 to the next-hop router with the IP address 10.1.1.1.

2. Default Static Route:

 
 Configure a default static route to route all traffic not matching any specific routes to a default gateway:
 ```
 Router(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.1.1.1
 ```
 This command sets the default gateway to 10.1.1.1, which will be used for packets destined for any network not explicitly defined in the routing table.

3. Static Route with Exit Interface:

 
 Configure a static route using an exit interface rather than a next-hop IP address:
 ```
 Router(config)# ip route 192.168.3.0 255.255.255.0 GigabitEthernet0/1
 ```
 This command directs traffic destined for the network 192.168.3.0/24 out of the interface GigabitEthernet0/1.

4. Floating Static Route:

 
 Configure a floating static route with a higher administrative distance as a backup route:
 ```
 Router(config)# ip route 192.168.4.0 255.255.255.0 10.1.1.2 200
 ```
 This command sets the administrative distance of the static route for the network 192.168.4.0/24 to 200, making it less preferred than routes with lower administrative distances.

5. Null Route:

 
 Configure a null route to discard traffic for a specific network:
 ```
 Router(config)# ip route 192.168.5.0 255.255.255.0 null0
 ```
 This command sends traffic destined for the network 192.168.5.0/24 to the null interface (null0), effectively discarding it.

6. IPv6 Static Route:

 
 Configure an IPv6 static route to reach an IPv6 destination network:
 ```
 Router(config)# ipv6 route 2001:db8::/32 GigabitEthernet0/1
 ```
 This command directs IPv6 traffic destined for the network 2001:db8::/32 out of the interface GigabitEthernet0/1.

These are just a few examples of static routing configurations on Cisco routers. Depending on your network requirements and topology, you may need to adjust parameters such as destination networks, subnet masks, next-hop routers, administrative distances, and interface names accordingly. Additionally, always verify your configurations and test connectivity after making changes to ensure they are functioning as expected.
