Configuring And Using Command Keyword Aliases; Configuring And Using Hotkeys - HP 3100 v2 Series Configuration Manual

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 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 a string you entered exactly matches a keyword but partially matches an alias, the command
indicated by the keyword is executed. To execute the command indicated by the alias, enter the
complete alias.
•
If you enter a string that partially matches multiple aliases, the system gives you a prompt.
