used the next time the router is booted up.

Lab A.13: Verifying Your Configuration
O
nce you take a look at the running-config, and it appears that every-
thing is in order, you can verify your configuration with utilities such as Ping
and Telnet.
1.
You can ping with different protocols, and you can see this by typing
ping ?
at the router user-mode or privileged-mode prompt.
Router#ping ?
WORD Ping destination address or hostname
appletalk Appletalk echo
decnet DECnet echo
ip IP echo
ipx Novell/IPX echo
srb srb echo
<cr>
2.
Telnet can be used to test IP connectivity and to gain access into
remote routers. From the router prompt, you do not need to use the
telnet
command. If you just type a hostname or IP address, it will
assume you want to telnet. The following example shows how to use
Telnet from a router prompt. However, you need to have a configured
and working network for Telnet to be successful.
Router#telnet ?
WORD IP address or hostname of a remote system
<cr>
3.
Another way to verify your configuration is by using the show
interface
commands. The first command is show interface ?,
which shows us all the available interfaces to configure. The only
interfaces that are not logical are Ethernet and Serial.
