show running-config full

[gglynn]

Can someone please tell me what the point of the "full" option to the "show running-config" command is, and what sort of information (specifically) might be hidden if you don't use this option when issuing the command? The IOS documentation doesn't say.

Hi,

The full keyword is the default option for the command, this makes, "show run" = "show run full", you can find below other details:

R6#show running-config ?

Are you sure? Because most IOS commands don't have default options.

Hi,

Please always check the "Defaults" part in the DocCD for any command and you'll always find a default option, for example for this command i quote:

"The show running-config command without any arguments or keywords displays the entire contents of the running configuration file."
