Multi-line alias
You can create a multi-line alias where you save a series of multiple commands in an alias. Multi-line alias is supported only in the
Configuration mode.
You cannot use the exiting CLI keywords as alias names. The alias name is case-sensitive and can have a maximum of 20
characters.
● Create a multi-line alias in the CONFIGURATION mode. The switch enters the ALIAS mode.
alias alias-name
● Enter the commands to be executed prefixed by the line n command in ALIAS mode. Enter the commands in double
quotes and use $n to enter input parameters. You can substitute $n with either numbers ranging from 1 to 9 or with an
asterisk (*) and enter the parameters while executing the commands using the alias. When you are using asterisk (*), you
can use all the input parameters. The maximum number of input parameters is 9.
line nn command
● (Optional) You can enter the default values to use for the parameters defined as $n in ALIAS mode.
