Tonight I fired up an old cisco router and found that the IOS image on it was having it’s 10th bday.

Running default software
cisco IGS (68020) processor (revision 5) with 1024K bytes of memory.
Serial Number 00200825
1 Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 interface.
1 Serial network interface.
16K bytes of non-volatile configuration memory.
Configuration register is 0x101
No command line help, no command line completion, no cidr notation, no motorcar, not a single luxury… it’s primitive as can be[1]. So, does ‘mlb’ still work for cisco?
