Defining and Using Command Aliases
You can use the set alias command to define up to 100 command aliases (short versions of command
names) for frequently used or long and complex commands. Using command aliases can save you time
and help prevent typing errors when you are configuring or monitoring the switch.
For the name argument, specify a name for the command alias. The parameter argument is the text that
the user types at the command line to activate the command.
To define a command alias on the switch, perform this task in privileged mode:
This example shows how to define two command aliases:
•
sm3, which executes the show module 3/1 command
• sp3, which executes the show port 3 command.
Console> (enable) set alias sm3 show module 3
Command alias added.
Console> (enable) set alias sp3 show port 3/1
Command alias added.
Console> (enable)
This example shows how to verify the currently defined command aliases:
Console> (enable) show alias
sm8 show module 3
sp8 show port 3
These examples show what happens when you enter the command aliases at the command line:
Console> (enable) sm3
