How to find out configuration without running config

[owilson2k]

Hi guys,

I failed the CCNA scoring 799 and I thought i had passed but it was suck when i saw the score.

I have question,

How do you answera question question about configuration between devices if the show running, sh startup..., sh ver command are blocked during the question? I could not find a clue there.

Hello,
try "show cdp neighbors", "show ip interface brief", "show interfaces <interface>" and "show run interface <interface>".

HTH!

I believe the sh cdp neighbor was blocked as well. the only thing I could see was a diagram.

Thanks for your respond. I am takind the exam again this friday so hoping I'll pass.

Depends on the question. You won't be given a question you can't answer, so look for clues as to what the question is asking, and use your foundation knowledge of the subject to find the right show command.

If it's a question on STP, try sh span, or for vlans you have sh vlan [brief]. They won't block something you need to find to answer the question.

One of the Cisco objectives is how can you verify your configuration and find any or all problems on the network without doing a show run. You also need to be able to verify from usermode, not privledged mode!

>sh ip int brief
>sh cdp neighbors (yes, this works for the objectives and is one of the most important)
>sh cdp neighbors detail
>sh protocols
>sh access-lists
>sh ip nat translations
>sh int s0/0 (for example, to see the encap)

Each of my chapters ends with the verifications commands for the objectives covered in that chapter, so READ those sections carefully!

Cheers!
