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.
