What command saves the Cisco configuration?

copy running-config startup-config (copy run start) writes the running config to NVRAM. It runs from privileged EXEC mode, not configuration mode.

What command shows the routing table?

show ip route displays the IPv4 routing table, including connected, static, and dynamically learned routes.

Pick the Cisco IOS command before you run out of lives. The command that does the task, what a command actually does, the show command that verifies it, and the config mode it belongs in — VLANs, trunks, routing, OSPF, port security, and ACLs, drilled fast.

Why commands matter for the CCNA. The exam is heavy on config and verification. Knowing the exact command, what it changes, and which prompt you have to be at — privileged EXEC vs global vs interface vs router config — turns slow, error-prone labs into muscle memory.
