Defining Command Aliases

You can use the set alias command to define command aliases (shorthand versions of commands) for
frequently used or long and complex commands. Command aliases can save you time and can help
prevent typing errors when you are configuring or monitoring the switch.
The name argument defines the command alias. The command and parameter arguments define the
command to enter when the command alias is entered at the command line.
To define a command alias on the switch, perform this task in privileged mode:
Task
Step 1 Define a command alias on the switch.
Step 2 Verify the currently defined command aliases.
