• Alias commands are stored until the user session ends. To save alias settings, you must execute the 

 command. Otherwise, once you log off the switch, substitute commands configured 

with the alias command are destroyed.

• You can eliminate excess typing by reducing the number of characters required for a command. For 

instance, the group syntax can be defined as gp.

• You can change unfamiliar command words into familiar words or patterns. For instance, if you prefer 

the term “privilege” to the term “attribute” with reference to a login account’s read/write capabilities, 
you can change the CLI command from attrib to privileges.

• To reset commands set with alias back to their factory default, use the 

 command.
