You ever wished you could have your config organized in manner where it was structured for easy troubleshooting and identification? or maybe you have been working with TAC late at night and they tell you find the configuration line that starts with ‘XYZ’ and this configuration just happens to use up a third of Sherwood Forrest when printed and you have to issue the ‘ole trusty ’find’ feature in your word processing editor and thought to yourself there has to be an easier way? Well there is, next time you want an easy way to identify certain lines in your config issue the ’show running-config linenum’ command and your configuration will be organized for easy identification via the router with no work on your part. Here is a sample:

CCIE6200-1841#sh run linenum
