Displaying the Target Configuration
The target configuration includes the configuration changes that have been entered but not yet
committed. These changes are not yet part of the running configuration.
You can view the target configuration in global configuration and administration configuration modes.
You cannot view the target configuration in EXEC modes because the target configuration must be
committed or abandoned before returning to EXEC or administration EXEC mode.
To display the target configuration changes you have entered for an , enter the show configuration
command in global configuration mode or in any submode, as shown in the following example:
RP/0//CPU0:router(config-if)# show configuration
Building configuration..

To display the target administration configuration changes you have entered, enter the show
configuration command in administration configuration mode or in any submode, as shown in the
following example:
RP/0//CPU0:router(admin-config-sdr:test)# show configuration
Building configuration...
sdr test
location 0/1/
!
end
Displaying a Combined Target and Running Configuration
Although the target and running configurations remain separate until the target configuration is
committed, you can preview the combined target and running configuration without committing the
changes. The combined configuration shows what the new running configuration will look like after the
changes from the target configuration are committed. It does not represent the actual running
configuration.
You can preview the combined configuration in global configuration and administration configuration
modes. You cannot preview the combined configuration in EXEC modes because the target configuration
must be committed or abandoned before returning to EXEC or administration EXEC mode.
To display the combined target and running configuration, enter the show configuration merge
command in any configuration mode.
Note The merge option does not appear in command help until the target configuration contains at least one
configuration change.
The following example shows how to display the active configuration (show running-config), configure
an interface, and display the merged configuration:
RP/0//CPU0:router# show
Building configuration..
