4000 Router Series Fundamentals Configuration Guide

For example, if you configure show as the alias for the display keyword, you can enter either show clock

or display clock to execute the display clock command.

Usage guidelines

After you successfully execute a command by using a keyword alias, the system saves the keyword,

instead of its alias, to the running configuration.

If a string you entered for a command partially matches an alias and a keyword, the command indicated

by the alias is executed. To execute the command indicated by the keyword, enter the complete keyword.

If a string you entered for a command partially matches multiple aliases, the system displays an error

message.

If you enter a string that partially matches an alias and a keyword and press Tab, the keyword indicated

by the alias is displayed. Pressing Tab again displays the keyword.
