Task 9: Examine Router show Commands

There are many show commands that you can use to examine the operation of the router. In both priv-
ileged EXEC and user EXEC modes, the command show ? provides a list of available show com-
mands. The list is considerably longer in privileged EXEC mode than it is in user EXEC mode.

Examine the show running-config command.

Step 1.

The show running-config command is used to display the contents of the currently run-
ning configuration file. From privileged EXEC mode on the R1 router, examine the output
of the show running-config command. If the --More-- prompt appears, press the
Spacebar to view the remainder of the command output:
