Loading Aliases from a File
You can use the
source aliases
command to load the aliases from a file residing
on the volume to active RAM. The aliases already residing in memory remain in
memory; however, the system overwrites any aliases in memory that have
duplicate names. Use the
unalias *
command if you want to delete all aliases from
memory before entering the
source aliases
command.
Enter the following to load aliases:
source aliases
<vol> : <filename>
<vol>
is the volume storing the alias file.
<filename> is the name of the file that contains aliases.
Example:
source aliases 2:aliases.1
or
run 2:aliases.1
or
source 2:aliases.1
Loads the aliases contained in the
aliases.1
file, which is stored on
volume 2
Note:
With Version 7.70 or later router software running, you can use the
source aliases
command to load alias files created in any version of Series 7
or later router software. You cannot, however, use earlier releases of router
software to read alias files created with Version 7.70 or later software.
