Conguring and Managing Aliases
An alias is a string that represents an IP address. You can use aliases as shortcuts in CLI
commands. For example, you can congure alias pubs1 for IP address 10.10.10.20, and
enter ping pubs1 as a shortcut for ping 10.10.10.20.
Aliases take precedence over DNS. When you enter a hostname, MSS checks for an alias
with that name rst, before using DNS to resolve the name.
