Configuring and using command keyword aliases
The command keyword alias function allows you to replace the first keyword of a non-undo command or
the second keyword of an
undo
command with your preferred keyword when you execute the command.
For example, if you configure
show
as the alias for the
display
keyword, you can enter
show
in place of
display
to execute a
display
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 you press
Tab
after entering part of an alias, the keyword is displayed.
•
If a string you entered partially matches a keyword and an alias, the command indicated by the
alias is executed. To execute the command indicated by the keyword, enter the complete keyword.
•
If you enter a string that partially matches multiple aliases, the system gives you a prompt.
