Configuring the Router
Verifying the Initial Configuration
Verify that the new interfaces are operating correctly by performing the following tests:
To verify that the interfaces are operating correctly and that the interfaces and line protocol are in
the correct state—up or down—enter the show interfaces command.
To display a summary status of the interfaces configured for IP, enter the show ip interface brief
command.
To verify that you configured the correct hostname and password, enter the show configuration
command.
When you have completed and verified the initial configuration, your Ciscorouter is ready to configure
for specific functions. See the “Completing the Configuration” section on page9 for information about
locating documentation for advanced configuration procedures.
