alias

Global Command
This command provides a mechanism for assigning a name to a string, which allows
replacement of a word or string with another string. This is useful for abbreviating a command,
or for adding default arguments to a regularly used command. For example, the command alias
sh show sets up the alias sh for show, which may be used to issue subsequent commands, for
example sh time for the show time command. Alias strings that include a space must be
enclosed with quotations (for example, alias scfg "show config"). Aliases may be deleted by
entering alias followed by the alias value. For example alias sh deletes the sh alias. Entering
alias with no parameters shows all the currently defined aliases. Alias definitions do not persist
between Command Line Interface sessions or across power cycles.
