Simple VyOs Static Routing on GNS3

Question

Sorry for the beginner question. I'm trying to simply set up static routing on this GNS3 topology. Specifically, I want Sam to be able to ping Jack. I've assigned all of the VPCS machines ip's, and have configured the interfaces for each VyOS router so it matches this topology. I think I'm messing up the static routing table. I've read the VyOS documentation and have tried the below commands:

Router1

set protocols static route 10.10.10.0/24 next-hop 10.10.40.1
set protocols static route 10.10.40.0/24 next-hop 10.10.10.2

Router2

set protocols static route 10.10.40.0/24 next-hop 10.10.20.1
set protocols static route 10.10.20.0/24 next-hop 10.10.40.2

When I try to ping Jacks machine from Sam I get No Gateway Found.

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

A router know the network in which it has an interface connected, so it doesn't need a route for those.

It need a route to reach remote networks. So you must tell to:

• router-1 where are the networks 10.10.20.0/24 and 10.10.30.0/24
• router-2 where are the networks 10.10.10.0/24 and 10.10.30.0/24
• router-3 where are the networks 10.10.10.0/24 and 10.10.20.0/24

So you can remove the static route you set

Router 1

delete protocols static route 10.10.10.0/24
delete protocols static route 10.10.40.0/24 
set protocols static route 10.10.20.0/24 next-hop 10.10.40.2
set protocols static route 10.10.30.0/24 next-hop 10.10.50.2

Router 2

delete protocols static route 10.10.20.0/24
delete protocols static route 10.10.40.0/24 
set protocols static route 10.10.10.0/24 next-hop 10.10.40.1
set protocols static route 10.10.30.0/24 next-hop 10.10.40.1

Router 3

set protocols static route 10.10.10.0/24 next-hop 10.10.50.1
set protocols static route 10.10.20.0/24 next-hop 10.10.50.1
