Parameters
alias: Specifies an alias, a case-sensitive string of 1 to 20 characters. An alias cannot be alias or contain spaces.
command: Specifies a command string. Make sure the command string meets the syntax requirements.
Usage guidelines
You can configure an alias for a command or the starting keywords of commands, and use the alias to execute the command or commands.
For example, if you configure the alias siprt for display ip routing-table, you can enter siprt to execute the display ip routing-table command. If you configure the alias ship for display ip, you can use ship to execute all commands starting with display ip:
Enter ship routing-table to execute the display ip routing-table command.
Enter ship interface to execute the display ip interface command.
The command string can include up to nine parameters. Each parameter starts with the dollar sign ($) and a sequence number in the range of 1 to 9. For example, you can configure the alias shinc for the display ip $1 | include $2 command. Then, to execute the display ip interface | include GigabitEthernet0/0/1 command, you only need to enter shinc interface GigabitEthernet0/0/1.
