Hi,
This is excellent! Thank you VERY MUCH for posting this. I have wondered about this topic.
Thanks,
Brandon
thanks for this list. I hate to get of subject but I need help in trying to determine the requirements to setup a 99.999% network? Do you know of any good references?
It might be nice to see the smallest abbreviated versions of those commands. A keystroke saved is a keystroke earned. Example:
“sh ip int b” for “show ip interface brief”.
thanks!

Thank you soooo much for the wonderful words. We feel so incredibly blessed to be able to do what we love most here at IE – teach and write about Cisco networking while helping others. We should pay our students!
Continue to enjoy your studies and thank you so much for making our blog a part of that!
Michael – it looks like this Cisco Press book provides a nice overview of what you need for a Cisco-biased network.
