The secret line in the configuration command script shows that the password is encrypted. When you type the password during configuration and login, the password is hidden.

Verifying the System After Initial Boot

To verify the status of the router, perform the following procedure:

SUMMARY STEPS

1.show version

2.admin

3.show platform [node-id]

4.exit

5.show redundancy

6.show environment

DETAILED STEPS

 

Command or Action

Purpose

Step 1

 

 

show version

Displays information about the router, including image names,

 

 

uptime, and other system information.

 

Example:

 

 

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# show version

 

Step 2

 

 

admin

Places the router in administration EXEC mode, displays

 

 

information about the status of cards and modules installed in

 

Example:

the router, and terminates administration EXEC mode.

 

 

 

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# admin

 

Step 3

 

 

show platform [node-id]

A card module is also called a node. When a node is working

 

 

properly, the status of the node in the State column is

 

Example:

IOS XR RUN.

 

Use the show platform node-idcommand to display

 

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# show platform

 

 

information for a specific node. Replace node-idwith a node

 

 

name from the show platform command Node column.

 

 

Note To view the status of all cards and modules, the show

 

 

platform command must be executed in administration

 

 

EXEC mode.

Step 4

 

 

exit

Exits the EXEC mode.

 

Example:

 

 

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# exit
