Defining Command Aliases on the Switch
You can use the set alias command to define up to 100 command aliases (shorthand versions of
commands) for frequently used or long and complex commands. The command aliases can save you time
and can help to prevent typing errors when you are configuring or monitoring the switch.
The name argument defines the command alias. The command and parameter arguments define the
command to enter when the command alias is entered at the command line.
To define a command alias on the switch, perform this task in privileged mode:
This example shows how to define two command aliases, sm8 and sp8. sm8 issues the show module 8
command, and sp8 issues the show port 8 command. This example also shows how to verify the
currently defined command aliases and displays what happens when you enter the command aliases at
the command line:
Console> (enable) set alias sm8 show module 8
Command alias added.
Console> (enable) set alias sp8 show port 8
Command alias added.
Console> (enable) show alias
