alias
The alias command is used to create abbreviated versions of CLI commands. If the command is entered without any parameters, it
simply displays a list of all existing aliases.
alias [<word>] [<line>]
no alias [<word>]
The aliases you create do not persist in memory after the user session is closed. Aliases can be saved to a file and that file can be
called in from a user’s profile. In this manner, a user can have a particular set of aliases that become available each time he or she
logs in. Alternatively, the user can manually load this file of aliases upon logging in using the command exc file <alias file
name>.
Use the no version to remove a specific named alias.
Parameters
The abbreviation or replacement name to be used as an alias for a CLI command.
The CLI command that the C4 CMTS will execute when the alias is entered from the command line.
