The repeat command using a range
HP Switch(config)# show history 3 show ver 2 show ip 1 show arp HP Switch(config)# repeat 1-2 IP ARP table IP Address MAC Address Type Port -------------- ---------------- -------- ---- 15.255.128.1 000000-000000 dynamic Internet (IP) Service IP Routing : Disabled Default Gateway : Default TTL : 64 Arp Age : 20 Domain Suffix : DNS server : VLAN | IP Config IP Address Subnet Mask Proxy ARP ------------------ + ----------- --------------- -------------- --------- DEFAULT_VLAN | DHCP/Bootp 15.255.131.90 255.255.248.0 No No
You can create a simple command alias to use in place of a command name and its options. Choose an alias name that is not an existing CLI command already. Existing CLI commands are searched before looking for an alias command; an alias that is identical to an existing command will not be executed.
The alias command is executed from the current configuration context (operator, manager, or global). If the command that is aliased has to be executed in the global configuration context, you must execute the alias for that command in the global configuration context as well. This prevents bypassing the security in place for a particular context.
HP recommends that you configure no more than 128 aliases.
Syntax
Creates a shortcut alias name to use in place of a commonly used command. The alias command is executed from the current config context.
name: Specifies the new command name to use to simplify keystrokes and aid memory.
command: Specifies an existing command to be aliased. The command must be enclosed in quotes.
For example, if you use the show interface custom command to specify the output, you can configure an alias for the command to simplify execution. It is recommended that you use an alias that does not have an existing tab completion in the CLI. For example, using an alias that starts with "show" or "int" would complete to "show" and "interface" respectively when you use the tab completion function.
Using the alias command with show int custom
HP Switch(config)# show int custom 1-4 port name:4 type vlan intrusion speed

NOTE: Remember to enclose the command being aliased in quotes. |

Command parameters for the aliased command can be added at the end of the alias command string. For example:
HP Switch(config)# alias sc "show config" HP Switch(config)# sc status
To change the command that is aliased, re-execute the alias name with new command options. The new options are used when the alias is executed.
To display the alias commands that have been configured, enter the show alias command.
