About Command Aliases

You can define command aliases to replace frequently used commands. The command aliases can represent
all or part of the command syntax.
Command alias support has the following characteristics:
• Command aliases are global for all user sessions.
• Command aliases persist across reboots if you save them to the startup configuration.
• Command alias translation always takes precedence over any keyword in any configuration mode or
• Command alias configuration takes effect for other user sessions immediately.
