What show commands after configuring Switch & ROuter?

After I'm done configuring a switch, I use the following show commands

sh running config
sh ip interface brief
sh mac

for routers

sh running config
sh ip interface brief
sh ip route
sho protocols

Any other sh commands I should use?

For switches

sh int status
sh port-security
sh spanning-tree
sh vlan br
sh run int <port #>
sh log

Routers

sh ip <eigrp or ospf> nieghbors
sh ip <eigrp or ospf> topology
sh processes cpu history
sh processes cpu sorted
sh ver
sh log

I cant think of any others at the moment.

more for debugging
but can tell you if serial connections/cables are plugged in or not
and status of the controllers and if getting buffer overflows / other errors

show controllers / sh control
show controller xx where xx is e.g FASTETHERNET 0 or show controller Serial 0/0
show diag
show ip interface brief
show interfaces
show int status
show ip protocols
show ip route
show ip arp
show log
debug ip rip
