Configuring user-level aliases

User-level command aliases (command shortcuts) are defined for an individual user account.

1. In privileged EXEC mode, enter the configure terminal command.
   

   device# configure terminal

2. Enter the alias-config command to access alias configuration mode.
   

   device(config)# alias-config

3. Enter the user command to access user-alias configuration mode.
   

   device(config-alias-config)# user jdoe

4. Enter the alias command, specifying the alias and its corresponding command.
   

   device(config-user-jdoe)# alias int2 "interface ethernet 1/2"

5. Verify the alias.
   

   Note

   The following verification example assumes that the user jdoe defined the user-level alias "int2". If an admin defined the alias for this user, the example would show the admin logging out of the CLI and jdoe logging into the CLI.

   

   device(config-alias-config)# exit
   device(config-user-jdoe)# exit
   device(config-alias-config)# exit
   device(config)# int2
   
   <Displayed automatically:>
   device(config)#interface ethernet 1/2
   device(config-if-eth-1/2)#
