When performing manual auditing on network devices, you can use the following com-
mands to obtain information:
show tech-support
■
show processes cpu
(provides the average CPU utilization information)
■
show version
■
show processes memory
■
show log
■
show interface
■
show policy-map interface
■
show running-config
(provides the full router or switch configuration)

Example 1-1 shows the output of a
show version
command. This command shows the op-
erating system version, the router type, the amount of flash and RAM memory, the router
uptime, and interface types.
