Cisco IOS Commands – CCNA Level

A good working knowledge of Cisco IOS commands is vital for your success in your Cisco exam. You will be tested on them during the switch and router simulations and also in the multiple choice questions.

Here are what we think are the most important ones you need to know along with how to apply them to live Cisco equipment. If you think we have missed any out please drop us a line to help at howtonetwork.net
