If you want to quickly see what ip addresses you have configured on your router you can use the command show ip alias
This will give you a much cleaner output than sh ip int brief or sh ip int brief ex unass
Using the command sh ip alias on a router you can see the clean output showing connected interfaces
R1#sh ip alias Address Type IP Address Port Interface 10.1.1.1 Interface 192.168.1.2 Interface 192.168.2.2 Interface 192.168.3.2 Interface 192.168.4.2
Compare this to the output of sh ip int brief
R1#sh ip int brief Interface IP-Address OK? Method Status Protocol Ethernet0/0 192.168.1.2 YES TFTP up up Ethernet0/1 192.168.2.2 YES TFTP up up Ethernet0/2 192.168.3.2 YES TFTP up up Ethernet0/3 192.168.4.2 YES TFTP up up Loopback0 10.1.1.1 YES TFTP up up
I have started to use this command now more than sh ip int brief as it is less characters to type! sh ip al is the least you can get away with.
