Basic commands

show version
show running-config         ! requires Enable mode
show interfaces
show logging
show tech-support

Set up IP address on router interface

! enter 'Enable' mode
R2>enable      
! show interfaces
R2#show ip interface brief   
Interface              IP-Address      OK? Method Status                Protocol 
FastEthernet0/0        unassigned      YES unset  administratively down down 
FastEthernet0/1        unassigned      YES unset  administratively down down 
FastEthernet1/0        unassigned      YES unset  administratively down down 
FastEthernet1/1        unassigned      YES unset  administratively down down 
Vlan1                  unassigned      YES unset  administratively down down
! enter config mode
R2#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
! specify interface port FastEthernet 0/0
R2(config)#interface fastethernet 0/0
! assign ip address and activate port
R2(config-if)#ip address 10.0.0.2 255.255.255.0
R2(config-if)#no shutdown
\\
R2(config-if)#
%LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface FastEthernet0/0, changed state to up
\\
%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/0, changed state to up

! specify another ethernet interface to configure, assign IP, activate port, come out of configure and privileged exec mode and check interfaces 
R2(config-if)#interface fastethernet 0/1
R2(config-if)#ip address 10.1.0.2 255.255.255.0
R2(config-if)#no shutdown
!
R2(config-if)#
%LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface FastEthernet0/1, changed state to up
!
R2(config-if)#exit
R2(config)#exit
R2#
%SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by console
!
R2#disable
R2>show ip interface brief
Interface              IP-Address      OK? Method Status                Protocol 
FastEthernet0/0        10.0.0.2        YES manual up                    up 
FastEthernet0/1        10.1.0.2        YES manual up                    down

Vlan1                  unassigned      YES unset  administratively down down

Routes (IGPs, RIP etc)

show ip route

Commands reference

Keyboard Shortcuts

Ctrl+Shift+6 Abort (if you spelled command wrong and IOS is looking for a DNS name it won't find)
