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 the CLI command show ip route, enter the alias shoro = show ip
route command.
Brocade(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 the CLI command copy running-config tftp 10.10.10.10 test.cfg,
enter the following command.
Brocade(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.
Brocade(config)#no alias wrsbc
or
Brocade(config)#unalias wrsbc
Syntax: unalias <alias-name>
The specified <alias-name> must be the name of an alias already configured on the Brocade
device.
To display the aliases currently configured on the Brocade device, enter the following command at
either the Privileged EXEC or CONFIG levels of the CLI.
Brocade#alias
wrsbc copy running-config tftp 10.10.10.10 test.cfg
shoro show ip route
Syntax: alias
Configuration notes for creating a command alias
The following configuration notes apply to this feature:
• You cannot include additional parameters with the alias at the command prompt. For example,
after you create the shoro alias, shoro bgp would not be a valid command.
• If configured on the Brocade device, authentication, authorization, and accounting is
performed on the actual command, not on the alias for the command.
• To save an alias definition to the startup-config file, use the write memory command.
