Command History
Usage Guidelines Follow these guidelines when defining a command alias:
• Command aliases are global for all user sessions.
• Command aliases persist across reboots.
• Commands being aliased must be typed in full without abbreviation.
• Command alias translation always takes precedence over any keyword in any configuration mode or
submode.
• Command alias support is only available on the supervisor module, not the switching modules.
• Command alias configuration takes effect for other user sessions immediately.
• You cannot override the default command alias alias, which is an alias for show cli alias.
• Nesting of command aliases is permitted to a maximum depth of 1. One command alias can refer to
another command alias that refers to a valid command, not to another command alias.
• A command alias always replaces the first command keyword on the command line.
• You can define command aliases in either EXEC mode or configuration submode.
