After you configure the Loopback0 interface, which command can you enter to verify the status of the interface and determine whether fast switching is enabled?

The correct answer is A. Router#show ip interface loopback 0. To inspect the IP-specific configuration and operational status, including fast switching, of a particular interface like Loopback0 on a Cisco router, the show ip interface command is used.

Why each option

To inspect the IP-specific configuration and operational status, including fast switching, of a particular interface like Loopback0 on a Cisco router, the `show ip interface` command is used.

ARouter#show ip interface loopback 0Correct

The `show ip interface loopback 0` command displays detailed IP-related information for the specified interface, including its IP address, status, protocol status, and whether fast switching is enabled or disabled, focusing on Layer 3 aspects.

BRouter#show run

The `show run` command displays the router's saved configuration but does not show real-time operational status or specific interface features like fast switching for a particular interface.

CRouter#show interface loopback 0

The `show interface loopback 0` command displays general Layer 2 and Layer 1 status of the interface (e.g., line protocol status, errors), but it does not provide IP-specific details like fast switching status.

DRouter#show ip interface brief

The `show ip interface brief` command provides a concise summary of IP addresses and interface status for all interfaces, but it lacks the detailed information, such as fast switching status, for a specific interface.
