Command Aliases; Filtering The Output Of A Show Command - Foundry Networks NetIron M2404C User Manual

Foundry NetIron M2404C and M2404F Metro Access Switches

Command Aliases

The CLI allows the user to associate a contiguous character string as an alias to any command,
optionally including specific arguments. This user-defined alias is then fully equivalent to the
command expression to which the user has associated it, in the CLI mode in which the user has
defined the alias. The user can thus set a substitute name for a command and use this name instead
of typing the command again.
For example, the user can assign an alias to the show interface 1/1/1 statistics command, by
typing:
device-name#alias sint1 show interface 1/1/1 statistics
Once the alias is assigned, the user can execute the show interface 1/1/1 statistics command by
simply typing sint1 in the mode in which it was assigned (the Privileged mode):
device-name#sint1

To remove the alias sint, type:

Filtering the Output of a show Command

The CLI allows the filtering of associated sections of output from the show commands. Filtering
the output of a show command to match a specific regular expression (text string) provides control
over the type and amount of information that is displayed by the system. Filtering is useful, when
displaying large files, for example the configuration file.
The pipe ("|") character indicates a filtering action. If the include or exclude keyword is not
specified, include is the default.
