Using and port number with CLI commands

If you want to filter for a special character instead of using the special character as described in the

table above, enter “\” (backslash) in front of the character. For example, to filter on output

containing an asterisk, enter the asterisk portion of the regular expression as “\*”.

PowerConnect#show ip route bgp | include \*

Creating an alias for a CLI command

You can create aliases for CLI commands. An alias serves as a shorthand version of a longer CLI

command. For example, you can create an alias called shoro for the CLI command show ip route.

Then when you enter shoro at the command prompt, the show ip route command is executed.

To create an alias called shoro for show ip route, enter the following command.

PowerConnect(config)#alias shoro = show ip route

Syntax: [no] alias alias-name = cli-command

The <alias-name> must be a single word, without spaces.

After the alias is configured, entering shoro at either the Privileged EXEC or CONFIG levels of the CLI

executes the show ip route command.

To create an alias called wrsbc for copy running-config tftp 10.10.10.10 test.cfg, enter the following

command.

PowerConnect(config)#alias wrsbc = copy running-config tftp 10.10.10.10 test.cfg

To remove the wrsbc alias from the configuration, enter one of the following commands.

PowerConnect(config)#no alias wrsbc

PowerConnect(config)#unalias wrsbc

Syntax: unalias alias-name

The specified alias-name must be the name of an alias already configured on the device.

To display the aliases currently configured on the device, enter the following command at either the

Privileged EXEC or CONFIG levels of the CLI.

PowerConnect#alias

wrsbc copy running-config tftp 10.10.10.10 test.cfg

shoro show ip route

Syntax: alias

| A vertical bar separates two alternative values or sets of values. The output can match one or the

other value.

For example, the following regular expression matches output that contains either “abc” or “defg”:

abc|defg

( ) Parentheses allow you to create complex expressions.

For example, the following complex expression matches on “abc”, “abcabc”, or “defg”, but not on

“abcdefgdefg”:

((abc)+)|((defg)?)
