Static Routing using GNS3

hassantalal785

I want to use static routing to configure the above topology .My queries regarding it are :
Q1) When i am configuring static route in SALES2 for say 192.168.10.0 ,192.168.20.0,192.30.0, 192.168.40.0 , 192.168.50.0 will i use 192.168.60.1 (IP of interface in SALES2) or i will use Fast Ethernet 0/0 , as outbound entity.
Q2)similarly for configuring static routing for Support2 will i use IP address of Fast Ether 0/0 in Support3 or its interface name ?

Actually there are all sorts of interfaces and i am confused for what i will use interface names and for what i will use IP address of the outbound interface. kindly help.

The concerns for using an exit interface rather than a next hop is ARP on multiaccess interfaces. If you use an exit interface on an ethernet interface it's going to ARP for every single IP you try to reach. In your scenario its not a concern so either will work equally well.

You can either use the next-hop address or the outgoing interface.

For example, these two commands will accomplish the same task on Sales2:

ip route 192.168.50.0 255.255.255.0 Fa0/0
ip route 192.168.50.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.60.2

Can You plz show one or two examples (topologies) in which we should preferebly use IP istead of exit interface ?
