ROUTER CONFIGURATION PARTITIONING

-
If you have to troubleshoot routers with long configurations, you're probably as fed up with the slow response of the show running-config command as I am. Unfortunately, there's not much you can do; the running configuration is reverse-engineered from various memory variables every time you ask for it and that process simply takes time if you've configured many parameters.


IOS release 12.2(33)SRB has introduced a fantastic feature: router configuration partitioning. The early seeds of this idea are already present in mainstream IOS releases. For example, you can display the configuration of a single interface, all class-maps or all policy-maps. The configuration partitioning gives you the ability to display access-lists, route-maps, static routes, router configurations ...
PE-A#show running-config partition ?
  access-list       All access-list configurations
  class-map         All class-map configurations
  common            All remaining unregistered configurations
  global-cdp        All global cdp configurations
  interface         Each Interface specific Configurations
  ip-as-path        All IP as-path configurations
  ip-community      All IP community list configurations
  ip-domain-list    All ip domain list configurations
  ip-prefix-list    All ip prefix-list configurations
  ip-static-routes  All IP static configurations
  line              All line mode configurations
  policy-map        All policy-map configurations
  route-map         All route-map configurations
  router            All routing configurations
  snmp              All SNMP configurations
  tacacs            All TACACS configurations
For example, if you want to display just the configuration of the OSPF process, you'd ask for show running partition router ospf 1:
PE-A#show running partition router ospf 1
Building configuration...

Current configuration : 164 bytes
!

REVERSE TELNET ON AUX PORT

-
  Requirement :   Need   to   configure   reverse telnet   via   AUX   port. Connect one router's aux port to another device's console port, and telnet to the router.Use reverse telnet to connect to the other device's console via your aux port   Setup   :   Here's how to set it up. 1.       Connect your router's aux port to another device's console port using a Cisco flat crossover cable. 2.       Telnet to your router, enable, and set the aux port up as follows:   R1#conf t R1(config)# line aux 0 R1(config-line)# modem InOut R1(config-line)# transport preferred all R1(config-line)# transport input all R1(config-line)# transport output all R1(config-line)# end 3.       Make sure you have an address on your lo0 interface, and the interface is up. R1#conf t R1(config)#int   lo0 R1(config-if)#ip   add   127.0.0.1 255.255.255.0 Execution : 1)       Come back in enable mode, find out the line number of your AUX port with “show   line”. It will look something l

Disabling Unneeded Services

Step 1: Configure the Physical Interface Because this lab uses only one router, you will simulate an active FastEthernet connection by activating the interface and applying the no keepalive command to initiate an “always up” state, regardless of the existence of a device at the remote end. Normally, you would not use the no keepalive command on a routed interface, except in special circumstances. In this lab, you will use it only for simulation purposes. Configure the R1 physical interface using the IP address shown in the topology diagram. Use the no keepalive command in interface configuration mode, and then use the no shutdown command to activate the interface. Because you have disabled keepalives, the interface status displays as link state (Layer 1) and line protocols state (Layer 2) “up,” even if it is not connected to an external device. R1(config)# interface fastethernet0/0 R1(config-if)# ip address 192.168.10.1 255.255.255.0 R1(config-if)# no keepalive R1(config-if)# no s
