Log into the router and enter privileged mode.

Type "show ip route". Note that two directly connected routes are shown.
Type "copy run start" to make sure that your configuration is saved. ("Copy run start"
is the abbreviated version of "copy running-config startup-config". Either commands
can be used on a router).
.Enter configuration mode to enter routing information. (Type "configure terminal" or
the abbreviated version "config t". Either command can be used on a router).
To add a route, you must specify the destination network and the port that traffic must
use to reach the remote network. To reach 192.168.10.0 traffic must flow through the
serial port 210.16.54.1.
Type "ip route 192.168.10.0 255.255.255.0 210.16.54.1". This command establishes an
IP route to network 192.168.10.0 with a 24 bit net-mask through port 210.16.54.1
Type "ip route 192.168.50.0 255.255.255.0 210.16.54.1". This command establishes an
IP route to network 192.168.50.0 with a 24 bit net-mask through port 210.16.54.1
Type "Ctrl-z" to exit from config mode.
Type "show ip route". Note that the two static routes are shown in addition to the two
direct routes. If you do not see both static routes, repeat this lesson from the beginning.
We will now look at how to remove static routes:
Enter config mode. (Type "configure terminal" or "config t")
To undo a command, like setting a route, we need to type the same command, with the
word NO in front of it:

Type "no ip route 192.168.10.0 255.255.255.0 210.16.54.1". This command removes
the route to network 192.168.10.0
Type "no ip route 192.168.50.0 255.255.255.0 210.16.54.1". This command removes
the route to network 192.168.50.0
Type "Ctrl-z" to exit from config mode.
Type "show ip route". Note that the two static routes are now gone, and only directly
connected routes remain
