Cisco IOS Troubleshooting Tip

I always love hearing about little IOS tips and tricks that are quick, easy, and provide lots of useful information. One that I use occasionally when I'm on a new Cisco IOS device is the command "show tech-support | include show".

What this gives you is all the 'show' commands generated when the command 'show tech-support' is executed. Pretty useful to see what commands Cisco TAC deem essential for troubleshooting, without having to scroll through hundreds of pages of output from 'show tech-support' command.

Here's what commands are executed on a Cisco 3850 running IOS-XE 03.03.03SE with IP Services license:
