Command History Release 3.0(1) Modification This command was introduced. Usage Guidelines Follow these guidelines when defining a command alias: • Command aliases are global for all user sessions. • Command aliases persist across reboots. • Commands being aliased must be typed in full without abbreviation. • Command alias translation always takes precedence over any keyword in any configuration mode or submode. • Command alias support is only available on the supervisor module, not the switching modules. • Command alias configuration takes effect for other user sessions immediately. • You cannot override the default command alias alias, which is an alias for show cli alias. • Nesting of command aliases is permitted to a maximum depth of 1. One command alias can refer to another command alias that refers to a valid command, not to another command alias. • A command alias always replaces the first command keyword on the command line. • You can define command aliases in either EXEC mode or configuration submode. 4-94 Cisco MDS 9000 Family Command Reference OL-16217-01, Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 3.x
