RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# (config)# show configuration

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# configure
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# alias ipbr show ipv4 interface brief
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# show configuration
Building configuration...
alias ipbr show ipv4 interface brief
end

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# alias cisco's-pos POS1/0/2/3
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# interface cisco's-pos
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# shutdown
