Aliases
Cisco IOS XR software lets you define command line aliases for any physical or logical entity in a
router. After you define the alias, it can be used in the CLI to reference the real entity.
To create a command alias, type the alias command in global configuration or administration
configuration mode:
alias alias-name [(parameter1 parameter2...)] command-syntax [$parameter1] [command-syntax
[$parameter2]}

Syntax
alias-name
command-syntax
(parameterx)
Multiple commands can be supported under a single command alias, and multiple variables can be
supported for each command. If multiple commands are specified under a single alias, then each
command is executed in the order in which it is listed in the alias command.
In the following example, an alias named my-cookie is created for the Management Ethernet interface,
and then the new alias is specified to enter interface configuration mode:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)# alias my-cookie mgmtEth 0/0/CPU0/0
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)# interface my-cookie
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)# interface mgmtEth 0/0/CPU0/0
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-if)#
After you enter a command with an alias, the router displays the command you entered with the alias
value so that you can verify that alias value.
