Usage Guidelines To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper

Cisco IOS XR software supports generic alias definitions for various entities. Any physical or logical
entity can have an alias as a reference. For example, an alias can refer to a command, a partial command,
a group of commands, a location, or an IP address.
An alias must first be defined. The alias can then be used in command lines in place of the defined entity.
Following is a list of properties for an alias:

The alias command can be used anywhere. If the content referenced by the alias is invalid or
inappropriate in that context or submode, the system issues a warning message containing the substituted
content.
