How to configure static route on Cisco IOS Router

Lessons Discussion

Hi Rene

I set up a simple network PC1 <-> R1 <-> R2 <-> PC2
All the static routes are implemented, pings work from PC1 to PC2. However when i do a trace from PC2 to PC1 or vice versa, I always get the (ICMP type:3, code:3, Destination port unreachable) at the end of the route hop.

PC2&gt; trace 192.168.1.1
trace to 192.168.1.1, 8 hops max, press Ctrl+C to stop
 1   192.168.2.254   10.000 ms  9.000 ms  10.001 ms
 2   192.168.12.1   20.001 ms  20.001 ms  19.001 ms
 3   *192.168.1.1   31.002 ms (ICMP type:3, code:3, Destination port unreachable)

I know that the trace was successful, but why does it say Destination port unreachable ?

Thanks,
Veeral
