show ip protocols...

why don't i use this command... when i need it, i can't remember it... arggghh...

first, a test... find it on the doccd... i'll keep the time...

we'll digress for a moment while you are looking...

in looking at labs from some vendors and other sources you'll notice that oftentimes they want you to perform discovery of the machinations of a particular network topology without the use of show run, or for that manner, any of its variants, ie, sh run int, sh run | begin router... why do they want you to do this? that was a stupid question, you know damn well why... getting away from dependance on run will make you stronger... BUT it's a huge pain in the ass... it forces you to think differently, and dig deeper into the arsenal of a great many other types of discovery that you usually ignore...

did you find the show ip protocols command reference yet?

what the hell took you so long?

before looking at sh ip protocols a word of caution... if you find yourself sitting the ccie lab and you need to reference the doccd for a command like sh ip protocols, or any show command for that matter, you are in the wrong friggin place at the wrong friggin time... Get out of there fast... o wait, you already wasted 1500 bucks... sorry...

but arteq you say, how do you know this? have you ever sat the ccie lab?

of course not... you don't have to be a nano-scientist to realize that one...

ok... show ip protocols is under the protocol independent section of the command reference section... makes sense in hindsight...  here:

you got to get off the lazy google searches and do the heavy lifting... google will be in lock down at RTP,  san jose, and the other lab locations throughout the world... WAKE UP...

look at all that shit up there... router-id, router type, filters, areas, paths, networks, bw, passive interfaces... WHAT is wrong with me?

for eigrp it will give you the asn, the k values, summarization state, networks, sources, variance, AD...
