10 commands you should master when working with the Cisco IOS 
The Cisco IOS provides thousands of commands, and configuring it can be challenging. 
Here are 10 commands you need to know, inside and out, when using the Cisco IOS. 
#1: The “?” 
It may seem entirely too obvious that you should know how to type ? to ask for help 
when using the Cisco IOS. However, the Cisco IOS is completely different from other 
operating systems when it comes to using the question mark (help key). As the IOS is a 
command-line operating system with thousands of possible commands and parameters, 
using the ? can save your day. 
You can use the command in many ways. First, use it when you don’t know what 
command to type. For example, type ? at the command line for a list of all possible 
commands. You can also use ? when you don’t know what a command’s next parameter 
should be. For example, you might type show ip ? If the router requires no other 
parameters for the command, the router will offer CR as the only option. Finally, use ? to 
see all commands that start with a particular letter. For example, show c? will return a list 
of commands that start with the letter c. 
#2: show running-configuration 
The show running-config command shows the router, switch, or firewall’s current 
configuration. The running-configuration is the config that is in the router’s memory. 
You change this config when you make changes to the router. Keep in mind that config is 
not saved until you do a copy running-configuration startup-configuration. This 
command can be abbreviated sh run. 
#3: copy running-configuration startup-configuration 
This command will save the configuration that is currently being modified (in RAM), 
also known as the running-configuration, to the nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM). If the 
power is lost, the NVRAM will preserve this configuration. In other words, if you edit the 
router’s configuration, don’t use this command and reboot the router–those changes will 
be lost. This command can be abbreviated copy run start. The copy command can also be 
used to copy the running or startup configuration from the router to a TFTP server in case 
something happens to the router. 
#4: show interface 
The show interface command displays the status of the router’s interfaces. Among other 
things, this output provides the following: 
· Interface status (up/down) 
· Protocol status on the interface 
· Utilization 
· Errors 
· MTU 
This command is essential for troubleshooting a router or switch. It can also be used by 
specifying a certain interface, like shint fa0/0.
#5: show ip interface 
Even more popular than show interface are show ip interface and show ip interface brief. 
The show ip interface command provides tons of useful information about the 
configuration and status of the IP protocol and its services, on all interfaces. The show ip 
interface brief command provides a quick status of the interfaces on the router, including 
their IP address, Layer 2 status, and Layer 3 status. 
#6: config terminal, enable, interface, and router 
Cisco routers have different modes where only certain things can be shown or certain 
things can be changed. Being able to move between these modes is critical to 
successfully configuring the router. 
For example, when logging in, you start off at the user mode (where the prompt looks 
like >). From there, you type enable to move to privileged mode (where the prompt looks 
like #). In privileged mode, you can show anything but not make changes. Next, type 
config terminal (or config t) to go to global configuration mode (where the prompt looks 
like router(config)# ). From here, you can change global parameters. To change a 
parameter on an interface (like the IP address), go to interface configuration mode with 
the interface command (where the prompt looks like router(config-if)#). Also from the 
global configuration mode, you can go into router configuration using the router 
{protocol} command. To exit from a mode, type exit. 
#7: no shutdown 
The no shutdown command enables an interface (brings it up). This command must be 
used in interface configuration mode. It is useful for new interfaces and for 
troubleshooting. When you’re having trouble with an interface, you may want to try a 
shut and no shut. Of course, to bring the interface down, reverse the command and just 
say shutdown. This command can be abbreviated no shut. 
#8: show ip route 
The show ip route command is used to show the router’s routing table. This is the list of 
all networks that the router can reach, their metric (the router’s preference for them), and 
how to get there. This command can be abbreviated shipro and can have parameters after 
it, like shiproospf for all OSPF routers. To clear the routing table of all routes, you do 
clear ip route *. To clear it of just one route, do clear ip route 1.1.1.1 for clearing out that 
particular network. 
#9: show version 
The show version command gives you the router’s configuration register (essentially, the 
router’s firmware settings for booting up), the last time the router was booted, the version 
of the IOS, the name of the IOS file, the model of the router, and the router’s amount of 
RAM and Flash. This command can be abbreviated shver. 
#10: debug 
The debug command has many options and does not work by itself. It provides detailed
debugging output on a certain application, protocol, or service. For example, debug ip 
route will tell you every time a router is added to or removed from the router.
