I expect that you will get an error message if you type sho ip route, since in those days, the default was IP and sho route did exactly that. dave At 12:28 AM 2/14/01 -0500, Paul Lantinga wrote:

cisco IGS (68020) processor (revision 5) with 1024K bytes of memory. Serial Number 00200825 1 Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 interface. 1 Serial network interface. 16K bytes of non-volatile configuration memory. Configuration register is 0x101

No command line help, no command line completion, no cidr notation, no motorcar, not a single luxury... it's primitive as can be[1]. So, does 'mlb' still work for cisco?
