Explanation "The show config command (or some variation of it) is used to examine the configuration of a network device. For example, on a Cisco router, the show running-configuration command permits you to see the current configuration of the device, which is stored in the RAM of the device. To view the saved configuration that is loaded when the system is rebooted, you can use the show startup-configuration command." "The show route command (or some variation of it) is used to view the routing table configuration of the network device. On a Cisco router, you can use show ip route to view the IPv4 routing table."
