Using CLI Session Variables

You can reference a variable using the syntax $(variable-name).
This example shows how to reference a user-defined CLI session variable:
switch# show interface $(testinterface)
Ethernet2/1 is down (Administratively down)
Hardware is 10/100/1000 Ethernet, address is 0000.0000.0000 (bia 0019.076c.4dac)
MTU 1500 bytes, BW 1000000 Kbit, DLY 10 usec,
Encapsulation ARPA
auto-duplex, auto-speed
Beacon is turned off
Auto-Negotiation is turned on
Input flow-control is off, output flow-control is off
Auto-mdix is turned on
Switchport monitor is off
Last clearing of "show interface" counters never
5 minute input rate 0 bytes/sec, 0 packets/sec
5 minute output rate 0 bytes/sec, 0 packets/sec

L3 out Switched:

Tx

Defining Command Aliases

This example shows how to define command aliases:
cli alias name ethint interface ethernet
cli alias name shintbr show interface brief
cli alias name shintupbr shintbr | include up | include ethernet
This example shows how to use a command alias:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# ethint 2/3
