Configuring An Alias - Allied Telesis SwitchBlade x3100 Series Manual

Configuring an Alias

maximum of 200 alias commands may be created and stored with the maximum name length being 40 char-
acters and the maximum substitution string being 256 characters.
If there are existing alias commands that conflict with a new verb/action, by overriding it, that was intro-
•
duced as a result of system software upgrade, the alias will be automatically removed during the upgrade.
For instance if there was an existing alias:
CREATE ALIAS="clear" STRING="PURGE USERS"
and the upgrade introduces a new command with the verb/action CLEAR, for example:
CLEAR DATABASE
then the "clear" alias would override the CLEAR verb/action, causing the command to be interpreted as
"
PURGE USERS DATABASE
any alias commands that would result in a conflict are destroyed.
If an existing command that is referenced in an alias has changed syntax, thereby causing an invalid syntax, no
correction is taken. Once a user attempts to use the alias, an "Unable to Parse" error is displayed.
