Cisco Nexus 5500 Series - H Commands

•
The Cisco NX-OS software provides one default alias, alias, which is the equivalent to the show cli
alias command that displays all user-defined aliases.
•
You cannot delete or change the default command alias alias.
•
You can nest aliases to a maximum depth of 1. One command alias can refer to another command alias
that must refer 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 for commands in any command mode.
•
If you reference a CLI variable in a command alias, the current value of the variable appears in the alias,
not the variable reference.
•
You can use command aliases for show command searching and filtering.
