Defining Command Aliases
You can use the
set alias
command to define command aliases (shorthand versions of commands) for
frequently used or long and complex commands. Command aliases can save you time and can help
prevent typing errors when you are configuring or monitoring the switch.
The
name
argument defines the command alias. The
command
and
parameter
arguments define the
command to enter when the command alias is entered at the command line.
