You can reference a variable using the syntax $(variable). The following example shows how to
reference a user-defined CLI session variable:
switch# show interface $(testinterface)
fc2/1 is up
Hardware is Fibre Channel, SFP is short wave laser w/o OFC (SN)
Use the show cli variables command to display user-defined CLI session variables. The following
example displays user-defined CLI session variables:
switch# show cli variables

TIMESTAMP="2005-10-24-21.29.33"
testinterface="fc 1/1"
Use the cli no var name command to remove user-defined CLI session variables. The following example
removes a user-defined CLI session variable:
switch# cli no var name testinterface

Command aliases are global for all user sessions.
Command aliases are saved across reboots.
Commands being aliased must be typed in full without abbreviation.
Command alias translation always takes precedence over any keyword in any configuration mode or
submode.
Command alias support is only available on the supervisor module, not the switching modules.
Command alias configuration takes effect for other user sessions immediately.
You cannot override the default command alias alias, which aliases the show cli alias command.
