show ip interface brief command output

[sivakondalarao]

Hi,

I have seen 'show ip interface brief' command output.

For some interfaces 'method' it is showing 'NVRAM' and for some interfaces it is 'Manual'.

What does it mean?

NVRAM means that the interface was configured via the startup configuration at boot time. Manual means the interface was configured manually after boot time.

Hi jclarke,

Thanks for your response. So, if I reload the router it shows 'Method' NVRAM right?

Yes, provided you don't do any configuration after that (and you've saved some interface config to the startup config).
