Software. For more information about the CurrentPorts parameter, see Reference for Enterprise OS Software.

The syntax convention for ports, virtual ports, and group ports is:

!<port>

For a port, <port> is a variable ID number, for example, !1. For a virtual port or group port, <port> is the letter V followed by a variable ID number, for example, !V1.

When you create a virtual port or group port, it functions in the same way as a port. Unless otherwise speciﬁed, the term “port” refers to virtual ports and group ports as well as ports. For more information on ports, virtual ports, and group ports, see Chapter 1 in Using Enterprise OS Software.

Using Aliases

To avoid entering lengthy commands, you can create an alias to represent any command. To deﬁne an alias, use:

ADD -SYS ALias <alias name> <arguments…>

For example, if you use the SHow -SYS NetMAP command often, create an alias called ntmap by entering:

ADD -SYS ALias ntmap SHow -SYS NetMAP

When you want to display the network map, at the bridge/router prompt enter:

ntmap

For more information about aliases, see Reference for Enterprise OS Software.

Command History Substitution

The bridge/router “remembers” the last 10 commands you enter. To display a list of these commands, at the bridge/router prompt enter:

SHow History

For more information see Reference for Enterprise OS Software. Each command in the display is numbered. To repeat any of the commands, use the event designator, represented by an exclamation point (!).

You can use history substitution with the following options:

!!	Repeats the previous command.
!<n>	Repeats the command numbered <n>. For example,
	entering !100 repeats the command numbered 100. If
	you know the command number, you do not need to
	display it ﬁrst.
!-<n>	Repeats the command whose number is the current
	command number minus <n>. The current command
	number is shown on the screen preceding the
	bridge/router prompt. For example, if the current
	command is 100 and <n> is 2, command number 98 is
	repeated.
