Alias command
The alias command allows you to create shortcuts for commonly used or long commands, and execute long commands along with their
parameters.
The alias supports the following modes:
• Persistent mode — The alias is persistent and can be used in other sessions as well. The aliases created in the Conguration mode are
persistent.
• Non-persistent mode — The alias can be used only within the current session. Once the session is closed, the alias is removed from the
system. The aliases created in Exec mode are non-persistent.
NOTE
: You cannot use existing keywords, parameters, and short form of keywords as alias names, nor can you create a shortcut
for the alias command.
• Create an alias in EXEC or CONFIGURATION mode — EXEC mode for non-persistent and CONFIGURATION mode for persistent
aliases. The alias value is the actual command where you can use $n to enter the input parameters. You can substitute $n with either
numbers ranging from 1 to 9 or with an asterisk (*) and enter the parameters while executing the commands using the alias. Use
asterisk (*) to represent any number of parameters. The maximum number of input parameters is 9.
