Talk:Static routing

I don't think the comment about RIP should be on this page. RIP is not a static routing protocol. 72.130.101.76 (talk) 17:05, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Some reference to this article should be made in the article on Routing --Renier Maritz 00:50, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

I find this to be confusing:

Example In a Cisco router the command to add a static IP would look similar to the following: conf t ip route 10.10.20.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.100.1

or the default route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.100.1 and when you using RIP to configure the router in rip mode

conf t center(config-router)#network 192.169.16.0 End Quote


 * I mean, what syntax is this? "or X and when you using RIP to configure the router in rip mode".  Where's the verb?  I have tried for a minute to find some meaning on that phrase, and gave it up.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.60.146.241 (talk) 11:57, August 30, 2007 (UTC)

I think that windows xp is more widespread OS and analogous examples should have been given how to configure static routes there. (route command). Linux also have similar capabilities (maybe even more extensive). -Yyy (talk) 14:40, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

All this may be true and correct. It just means exactly NOTHING. Instead of some VERY SPECIFIC and thus absolutely useless to the real world Cisco commands, a generic explanation in plain English should be provided. This is WIKIPEDIA and NOT Cisco Network Academy! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.70.177.64 (talk) 08:30, 10 August 2013 (UTC)
