alias
Syntax alias alias-name alias-command-name
no alias alias-name
Context environment
Description This command enables the substitution of a command line by an alias. 
Use the alias command to create alternative names for an entity or command string that are 
easier to understand and remember. If the string contains special characters (#, $, spaces, 
etc.), the entire string must be enclosed within double quotes. Only a single command can be 
present in the command string.
The alias command can be entered in any context but must be created in the 
root>environment context.
For example, to create an alias named soi to display MPLS interfaces, enter: 
 alias soi “show router mpls interface” 
Parameters alias-name — the alias name. Do not use a valid command string for the alias. If the alias 
specified is an actual command, this causes the command to be replaced by the 
alias.
alias-command-name — the command line to be associated
