A network administrator has recently applied several configurations to a core router to enhance its security setup. To ensure these configurations are properly applied and active on the router, which command should the administrator use?
The command show config is used specifically to display the current configuration of a network device, making it the correct choice for verifying changes. This command outputs the entire or parts of the current running configuration, which is essential in auditing and troubleshooting practices. Alternatives like show interface or show mac-address-table target specific data that, while useful for other troubleshooting aspects, do not provide comprehensive configuration details necessary for verifying entire device settings.
