Howard is correct any setting that is default will not show in the IOS. 
Release notes or research show tell you what he defaults for a given IOS 
are.

I had a problem with echo on an IP Telephony and I had IOS 12.3 At 12.3 the 
default echo cancellor coverage is 64ms which also happens to be the maximum 
value.

Also Howard mentiona 3550 which is a switch.  I found out that the vlan 
configuration for a switch is kept in a separate file on a switch. Do show 
flash and notice the extra files that you do not see on a router.
