XOS: How to create CLI aliases / shortcuts ?

[M_Nees]

Is it possible to create command shortcuts for commands which are often used or cumbersome to type in ? Like other major vendors "alias exec scn show cdp neighbor" ?
I guess with recent XOS the scripting feature should make this possible.

If someone use this - it is very welcome.

Completely forgot about this topic. Glad you found it and brought it back to life 🙂

Something like that would definitely be a "nice to have"; I could alias "save" to "wr" for my cisco-centric cow-orkers 🙂

OK. Scripting will help me with long commands. Is it possible to commit parameter to the script ?

And what about when i will create a shortcut for fewer command typing ? Like for example "sln" for show lldp neighbors ?

Hi Matthias,

You can pass CLI arguments to scripts. You can find an example of this with a Python script here:

You can do it in python or cli scripting , but you would still need to type "load script cdp" to execute the command if the script file was cdp.py or cdp.xsf

Is that what your looking for?
