Of course, after you have configured <strong>the</strong> router, you will want <strong>to</strong> save<br />

<strong>the</strong> changes. It is a common mistake <strong>to</strong> believe that configuration<br />

changes are saved, because <strong>the</strong>y become active as soon as <strong>the</strong>y are<br />

applied. This is not <strong>the</strong> case. To save changes made <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> router's<br />

configuration, <strong>the</strong> or privileged EXEC commands must be used. Both of<br />

<strong>the</strong>se commands copy <strong>the</strong> running configuration <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> router's<br />

NVRAM. It also does not hurt <strong>to</strong> have a copy of <strong>the</strong> configuration on<br />

something o<strong>the</strong>r than <strong>the</strong> router. Again, TFTP is good for doing this.<br />

Navigating <strong>the</strong> IOS Command Line<br />

As far as command-line interfaces go, <strong>the</strong> IOS's is decent.<br />

True <strong>to</strong> its TOPS-20-style interface, <strong>the</strong> IOS has extensive command<br />

help, which is context-sensitive and assists with command syntax. It<br />

does not provide information on <strong>the</strong> proper use of a command or <strong>the</strong><br />

command's dependency on o<strong>the</strong>r commands. So if you know what<br />

you want <strong>to</strong> do, in-line help can be a great help. If you don't, well, it's<br />

not.<br />

Command References for IOS 9.x and Up
