Lab 1.3 Introduction to Basic Show Command



SHOW COMMAND

Most SHOW command can be viewed from the regular USER Exec mode. Some SHOW commands can only be viewed from the Privileged Exec (Enable) mode. But you can't use show command directly in Configuration mode , but in latest IOS you can use 'do' before any show command to use show in configuration mode

SHOW VERSION

To display information about the currently loaded software along with hardware and device information, use the show version command in user EXEC, privileged EXEC, or diagnostic mode.

SHOW FLASH

The "Flash" contains the full Operating System, or "Image". This allows you to Upgrade the OS without removing chips. SHOW FLASH tells you how Big the Flash Memory is and what it is doing. Again lots of good statistics to use in troubleshooting your Router.

Router#show flash: System flash directory:
File Length Name/status
3 33591768 c1841-advipservicesk9-mz.124-15.T1.bin
2 28282 sigdef-category.xml
1 227537 sigdef-default.xml
[33847587 bytes used, 30168797 available, 64016384 total]
63488K bytes of processor board System flash (Read/Write)

SHOW PROTOCOL

To display the configured protocols, use the show protocols command in user EXEC or privileged EXEC mode.

Router(config)# show protocols [interface-name interface-number]
Router(config)# show protocols fastethernet0/1

SHOW CONFIGURATION

There are two main SHOW commands that allow you to see your Router's full configurations.
Show startup-config:Let's you see what is stored in the Router's NVRAM (Non-Volatile Memory), the place where configurations live when the power is off.
Show running-cinfig:which shows you the configuration as you have changed it since turning on the router.
For Security Reasons, these commands are not available from the User Prompt.

SHOW USER

The SHOW USER command display the user(s)who are connected to the router

Router#sh users
Line User Host(s) Idle Location
* 0 con 0 idle 00:00:00
67 vty 0 cisco idle 00:06:18 1.1.1.3
68 vty 1 idle 00:01:05 1.1.1.2
Interface User Mode Idle Peer Address

SHOW INTERFACE

The SHOW INTERFACE command will display statistics for all interface configured on the router

Router#show interfaces fastEthernet 0/0
FastEthernet0/0 is up, line protocol is up (connected)
Hardware is Lance, address is 000b.be24.5401 (bia 000b.be24.5401)
