# Cisco IOS Patterns

審查 Cisco IOS 或 IOS-XE 片段、建立變更窗口檢查清單,或是說明如何從路由器或
交換器收集證據而不讓事故更嚴重時,用這個 skill。

## When to Use

- 在計畫中的變更之前,審查 IOS 或 IOS-XE 設定。
- 為故障排除挑選唯讀的 `show` 指令。
- 檢查 ACL 的 wildcard mask 和介面方向。
- 說明全域、介面、路由程序和 line 這幾種設定模式。
- 驗證變更已經進到 running config,而且是刻意儲存的。

## Operating Rules

把 IOS 範例當成模式,不是可以直接貼上去的 production 變更。在真實設備上動手之前,要先確認
平台、介面名稱、目前的設定、rollback 路徑和帶外存取(out-of-band access)。

優先採用這個流程:

1. 用唯讀指令擷取目前狀態。
2. 審查確切的候選設定。
3. 確認管理存取不會被鎖在外面。
4. 在維護窗口內套用最小的變更。
5. 重新讀取狀態,與基準比對,驗證之後才儲存。

## Mode Reference

```text
Router> enable
Router# show running-config
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# interface GigabitEthernet0/1
Router(config-if)# description UPLINK-TO-CORE
Router(config-if)# no shutdown
Router(config-if)# exit
Router(config)# end
Router# show running-config interface GigabitEthernet0/1
```

`running-config` 是執行中的記憶體。`startup-config` 才是重開機後會留下來的。
不要因為指令被接受了就儲存變更;先驗證行為,
變更核准之後再用 `copy running-config startup-config`。

## Read-Only Collection

```text
show version
show inventory
show processes cpu sorted
show memory statistics
show logging
show running-config | section line vty
show running-config | section interface
show running-config | section router bgp
show ip interface brief
show interfaces
show interfaces status
show vlan brief
show mac address-table
show spanning-tree
show ip route
show ip protocols
show ip access-lists
show route-map
show ip prefix-list
```

設定檔可能含有機密、客戶名稱或私有拓樸時,只收集你需要的那一段,
不要把整份設定丟進工單。

## Wildcard Masks

IOS 的 ACL 和許多路由語句用的是 wildcard mask,不是 subnet mask。

```text
Subnet mask       Wildcard mask
255.255.255.255   0.0.0.0
255.255.255.252   0.0.0.3
255.255.255.0     0.0.0.255
255.255.0.0       0.0.255.255
```

部署之前要審查 wildcard mask。不小心把 subnet mask 當 wildcard 用,
匹配到的流量可能遠比預期的多。

```text
ip access-list extended WEB-IN
  10 permit tcp 192.0.2.0 0.0.0.255 any eq 443
  999 deny ip any any log
```

每個 ACL 的結尾都有隱含的 deny。如果營運目標包含觀察沒命中的流量,
就加一條明確且有 log 的 deny,並確認 log 量是安全的。

## ACL Placement Review

把 ACL 套用到介面之前,先回答這些問題:

- 過濾的是哪個流量方向,`in` 還是 `out`?
- 管理流量是不是來自已知的跳板機或管理子網路?
- 必要的路由、DNS、NTP、監控或
  應用程式流量,有明確的 permit 嗎?
- 有沒有辦法從安全的測試來源看到命中計數器?
- 有 rollback 指令,而且有可用的 console 或帶外路徑嗎?

不要靠移除防火牆或 ACL 的保護來測試連通性。先看計數器、
log 和路由狀態。

## Interface Hygiene

```text
interface GigabitEthernet0/1
 description UPLINK-TO-CORE
 switchport mode trunk
 switchport trunk allowed vlan 10,20,30
 switchport trunk native vlan 999
 no shutdown
```

用清楚的 description、明確的 switchport mode,以及有文件記載的 native VLAN。
routed 介面上,不要假設 link 狀態正常就代表轉發是對的,先確認 mask、對端位址和路由程序。

## Change-Window Verification

用跟實際變更相符的前後檢查。

```text
show running-config | section interface GigabitEthernet0/1
show interfaces GigabitEthernet0/1
show logging | include GigabitEthernet0/1|changed state|line protocol
show ip route <prefix>
show ip access-lists <name>
```

路由變更的話,也要在變更前後擷取鄰居狀態和路由表。
ACL 變更的話,要比對來自計畫中測試來源的命中計數器,
不要只靠一般的 ping。

## Anti-Patterns

- 沒有針對該設備的 diff,就直接套用產生出來的設定。
- 在變更後檢查通過之前就儲存設定。
- 在 IOS 預期 wildcard mask 的地方使用 subnet mask。
- 把 ACL 套用到錯誤的介面方向。
- 靠停用 ACL、路由政策或認證來排除故障。
- 沒有清掉機密和拓樸資訊,就把完整設定貼到公開工具裡。

# Cisco IOS Patterns

Use this skill when reviewing Cisco IOS or IOS-XE snippets, building a
change-window checklist, or explaining how to collect evidence from a router or
switch without making the incident worse.

## When to Use

- Reviewing IOS or IOS-XE configuration before a planned change.
- Choosing read-only `show` commands for troubleshooting.
- Checking ACL wildcard masks and interface direction.
- Explaining global, interface, routing process, and line configuration modes.
- Verifying that a change landed in running config and was saved intentionally.

## Operating Rules

Treat IOS examples as patterns, not paste-ready production changes. Confirm the
platform, interface names, current config, rollback path, and out-of-band access
before making changes on a real device.

Prefer this workflow:

1. Capture current state with read-only commands.
2. Review the exact candidate config.
3. Confirm management access cannot be locked out.
4. Apply the smallest change in a maintenance window.
5. Re-read state, compare to the baseline, then save only after validation.

## Mode Reference

```text
Router> enable
Router# show running-config
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# interface GigabitEthernet0/1
Router(config-if)# description UPLINK-TO-CORE
Router(config-if)# no shutdown
Router(config-if)# exit
Router(config)# end
Router# show running-config interface GigabitEthernet0/1
```

`running-config` is active memory. `startup-config` is what survives reload.
Do not save a change just because a command was accepted; validate behavior
first, then use `copy running-config startup-config` if the change is approved.

## Read-Only Collection

```text
show version
show inventory
show processes cpu sorted
show memory statistics
show logging
show running-config | section line vty
show running-config | section interface
show running-config | section router bgp
show ip interface brief
show interfaces
show interfaces status
show vlan brief
show mac address-table
show spanning-tree
show ip route
show ip protocols
show ip access-lists
show route-map
show ip prefix-list
```

Collect the specific section you need instead of dumping full config into a
ticket when the config may contain secrets, customer names, or private topology.

## Wildcard Masks

IOS ACL and many routing statements use wildcard masks, not subnet masks.

```text
Subnet mask       Wildcard mask
255.255.255.255   0.0.0.0
255.255.255.252   0.0.0.3
255.255.255.0     0.0.0.255
255.255.0.0       0.0.255.255
```

Review wildcard masks before deployment. A subnet mask accidentally used as a
wildcard can match far more traffic than intended.

```text
ip access-list extended WEB-IN
  10 permit tcp 192.0.2.0 0.0.0.255 any eq 443
  999 deny ip any any log
```

Every ACL has an implicit deny at the end. Add an explicit logged deny when the
operational goal includes observing misses, and confirm logging volume is safe.

## ACL Placement Review

Before applying an ACL to an interface, answer these questions:

- Which traffic direction is being filtered, `in` or `out`?
- Is management traffic sourced from a known jump host or management subnet?
- Is there an explicit permit for required routing, DNS, NTP, monitoring, or
  application traffic?
- Are hit counters available from a safe test source?
- Is there a rollback command and an active console or out-of-band path?

Do not test reachability by removing firewall or ACL protections. Read counters,
logs, and route state first.

## Interface Hygiene

```text
interface GigabitEthernet0/1
 description UPLINK-TO-CORE
 switchport mode trunk
 switchport trunk allowed vlan 10,20,30
 switchport trunk native vlan 999
 no shutdown
```

Use clear descriptions, explicit switchport mode, and documented native VLANs.
On routed interfaces, confirm the mask, peer addressing, and routing process
before assuming link state means forwarding is correct.

## Change-Window Verification

Use before/after checks that match the actual change.

```text
show running-config | section interface GigabitEthernet0/1
show interfaces GigabitEthernet0/1
show logging | include GigabitEthernet0/1|changed state|line protocol
show ip route <prefix>
show ip access-lists <name>
```

For routing changes, also capture neighbor state and route tables before and
after the change. For ACL changes, compare hit counters from a planned test
source rather than relying on a generic ping.

## Anti-Patterns

- Applying a generated config without a device-specific diff.
- Saving configuration before post-change checks pass.
- Using a subnet mask where IOS expects a wildcard mask.
- Applying an ACL to the wrong interface direction.
- Troubleshooting by disabling ACLs, route policies, or authentication.
- Pasting full configs into public tools without sanitizing secrets and topology.
