Defining IP Aliases on the Switch

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:
Task
Step 1 Define an IP alias on the switch.
Step 2 Verify the currently defined IP aliases.
This example shows how to define two IP aliases, sparc and cat6509. sparc refers to IP address
172.20.52.3, and cat6509 refers to IP address 172.20.52.71. This example also shows how to verify the
currently defined IP aliases and displays what happens when you use the IP aliases with the ping
command:
Console> (enable) set ip alias sparc 172.20.52.3
IP alias added.
Console> (enable) set ip alias cat6509 172.20.52.71
IP alias added.
Console> (enable) show ip alias
