Now, I’m pretty good when it comes to networking, routing, etc., but I’ve never worked in a Cisco shop. Consequently, I can’t configure or troubleshoot my way out of a paper bag if a Cisco device stands between me and freedom. I always have to have some help just remembering the basics. Luckily, there are tons of great resources out there, and this one from The Network Administrator seems like a pretty good place to start. Cisco Router Tips Top 10 ’show’ Commands list the basics for getting the goods out of a Cisco router. It’s not a tutorial on configuring a Cisco, but it does list a pile of useful commands for getting information about how a router is configured, and what might be going on with it (assuming you are troubleshooting some sort of a problem). Good stuff.
