PIX AND Cisco IOS Commands A firewall or router is not normally something you fiddle with. That is to say, once you have it properly configured, you tend to leave it alone until there is a problem or you need to make some other configuration change. This is the reason that the question mark (?) is probably the most widely used Cisco IOS command. Unless you have constant exposure to this equipment, it can be difficult to remember the numerous commands required to configure devices and troubleshoot problems.Most engineers remember enough to go in the right direction but use the (?) to help them use the correct syntax. This is life in the real world. Unfortunately, the question mark is not always available in the testing environment. Many questions on this exam require you to select the best command to perform a certain function. It is extremely important that you familiarize yourself with the different commands, the correct command syntax, and functions of each command. |
