Use this command to display or capture the current setting of different protocol packages supported on the switch. This command displays or captures commands with settings and configurations that differ from the default value. To display or capture the commands with settings and configurations that are equal to the default value, include the all option.
Show running-config does not display the User Password, even if you set one different from the default.
The output is displayed in script format, which can be used to configure another switch with the same configuration. If the optional scriptname is provided with a file name extension of ".scr", the output is redirected to a script file.
- If you issue the show running-config command from a serial connection, access to the switch through remote connections (such as Telnet) is suspended while the output is being generated and displayed.
- If you use a text-based configuration file, the show running-config command only displays configured physical interfaces (i.e. if any interface only contains the default configuration, that interface will be skipped from the show running-config command output). This is true for any configuration mode that contains nothing but default configuration. That is, the command to enter a particular config mode, followed immediately by its exit command, are both omitted from the show running-config command output (and hence from the startup-config file when the system configuration is saved.)

This command captures the current settings of OSPFv2 and OSPFv3 trapflag status:
- If all the flags are enabled, then the command displays trapflags all.
- If all the flags in a particular group are enabled, then the command displays trapflags group name all.
- If some, but not all, of the flags in that group are enabled, the command displays trapflags groupname flag-name.
