Defining Ip Aliases - Cisco WS-X6066-SLB-APC - Content Switching Module Software Manual

Defining IP Aliases

This example shows how to define two command aliases, sm8 and sp8. sm8 issues the show module 8
command, and sp8 issues the show port 8 command. This example also shows how to verify the
currently defined command aliases and what happens when you enter the command aliases at the
command line:
Console> (enable) set alias sm8 show module 8
Command alias added.
Console> (enable) set alias sp8 show port 8
Command alias added.
Console> (enable) show alias

Defining IP Aliases
You can use the set ip alias command to define textual aliases for IP addresses. IP aliases can make it
easier to refer to other network devices when using ping, telnet, and other commands, even when DNS
is not enabled.
The name argument defines the IP alias. The ip_addr argument defines the IP address to which the name
refers.
To define an IP alias on the switch, perform this task in privileged mode:

Step 1 Define an IP alias on the switch.
