Here are the answers to yesterday's questions!
CCNA Certification And CCENT Certification:
Short answer: You need to find out which end of a DTE/DCE cable is connected to a Cisco router. Problem is, the router cabinet is so packed with cables that you can't begin to see the lettering on the cable. (Not that this would ever happen, right?)
What command will give you this information, assuming the cable is connected to Serial0?
Answer: You can run show controller serial 0 to get that information. The DTE/DCE cable information is near the top of the command output.
