100-150 Question 254
Single answerYou are troubleshooting a network issue where a specific interface on a Cisco router is not functioning as expected. You have logged in with privilege level 1 and want to check the interface status. However, the 'show ip interface brief' command is not working. What should you do to resolve this issue?
- A
Use the '?' key to see available commands at your privilege level.
- B
Log out and log back in with a higher privilege level, such as level 15.
- C
Manually type the command without relying on auto-complete.
- D
Request command access from the administrator or switch to enable mode.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The command 'show ip interface brief' is restricted to higher privilege levels. Privilege level 1 only allows basic commands. To execute this command, the user must either log in with a higher privilege level or switch to enable mode. Logging in with a higher privilege level directly is the most efficient solution in this scenario.
- A. Incorrect.
Using the '?' key can show available commands, but it will not help if the requested command is restricted by privilege level.
- B. Correct.
The 'show ip interface brief' command requires at least privilege level 2 or higher. Logging in with a higher privilege level or switching to enable mode will resolve the issue.
- C. Incorrect.
Manually typing the command will not bypass privilege restrictions. The issue is related to access level, not syntax.
- D. Incorrect.
Requesting access from the administrator or switching to enable mode is an indirect solution, but logging in with higher privileges directly is more efficient.
