Wildcards, Templates, and Aliases

In the next example, a template with one parameter is applied and the show configuration command

displays the result:

RP/0//CPU0:router# configure

RP/0//CPU0:router(config)# apply-template test2 (router)

RP/0//CPU0:router(config)# show configuration

Building configuration...

hostname router

end

Aliases

With the Cisco IOS XR software, you can define command-line aliases for any physical or logical entity

in a router. After you define the alias, it is used in the CLI to reference the real entity.

To create a command alias, enter the alias command in global configuration or administration

configuration mode:

alias alias-name [(parameter1 parameter2...)] command-syntax [$parameter1] [command-syntax]

[$parameter2]

Table 27 defines the alias command syntax.

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, 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//CPU0:router(config)# alias my-cookie mgmtEth 0/0/CPU0/0

RP/0//CPU0:router(config)# interface my-cookie

RP/0//CPU0:router(config)# interface mgmtEth 0/0/CPU0/0

RP/0//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.

To delete a specific alias, enter the no form of the alias command with the alias name.

Ta b l e 27 alias Command Syntax

Syntax Specifies that the Alias Is Created for

alias-name Name of the command alias. An alias name can be a single word or

multiple words joined by a dash (–) delimiter.

command-syntax Original command syntax. Valid abbreviations of the original

command syntax can be entered for the command-syntax argument.

(parameterx) Argument or keyword that belongs to the command you specified for

the command-syntax argument. When the parameter is entered in

parenthesis after the alias name, the alias requires a parameter name.

To associate the parameter with a command within the alias, enter the

$ character preceding the parameter name.
