Module 18: The Cisco IOS Command Line Flashcards
Verify the Layer 3 routing information.
describe the command
show ip route
this is a command that is already built ino the ios
describe what a
keyword
is in a cisco command
this command is used to show relevant information about different aspects of the device
describe what the
show command
is used for
describe the command
show version
Verify the memory, interfaces, and licenses of the device.
Verify which protocols are operational.
describe the command
show protocols
this Mode allows access to only a limited number of basic monitoring commands.
It is often referred to as “view-only” mode.
describe
user EXEC mode
of a switch or router
in this mode the prompt will look as follows:
Switch#
Router#
how does the prompt look for a router or switch that is in
privileged exec mode
describe the command
show running-config
Verify the current configuration and settings.
to achieve this use the question mark (?)
how do you get help when using a cisco device
this is something that is variable such as an IP address
describe what an
argument
is in a cisco command
describe the command
show protocols
Verify which protocols are operational.
describe
global config mode
this mode is sued to make configurations on the device
describe
privileged exec mode
of a router or switch
this Mode allows access to all commands and features.
The user can use any monitoring commands and execute configuration and management commands.
what are the 4 elements of a typical cisco command
these include
- prompt
- command
- space
- keyword / arguments

Verify the interface status and see if there are any error messages.
describe the command
show interfaces
describe what the
show command
is used for
this command is used to show relevant information about different aspects of the device
Verify the list of known hosts on the local Ethernet LANs.
describe the command
show arp

show running-config
describe the command
show interfaces

will return you to your previous mode
describe the command
exit
describe the command
interface vlan 1
is a sub mode used for configuring interfaces on the device (enter the interface you wish to configure after interface)
describe the commmand
enable
entered at the user exec mode allows you to enter the priveleged exec mode
entered at the user exec mode allows you to enter the priveleged exec mode
describe the commmand
enable
entered at the priveleged exec mode will return you to the user exec mode
describe the command
disable
entered from the priveleged exec mode will enter global config where configurations can be made
describe the command
configure terminal
describe the command
show ip interface
Verify the Layer 3 information of an interface.

to achieve this use the question mark (?)
describe the prompt when in
global config mode
in this mode the prompt will look as follows:
switch(config)#
describe the command
show arp
