Cisco Set up Verification Commands

Once we have configured our infrastructure device, we want to verify that everything is running as expected.

Verification Commands

SW1# show running-config
SW1# show ip interface brief
SW1# show run interface vlan 1
SW1# show interface vlan 1
SW1# show version

Note

The use of show run interface <interface> is to abbreviate the running-configuration output, since there may be very many statements in the full config.

Note

The difference between show run interface vlan 1 and show interface vlan 1 is that the former includes the configuration options we set (it’s the config file, basically) while the later includes real-time statistics and information for the actual interface.
