I would strongly recommend not messing with the escape characters on the
terminal server. The proctors have to grade these tests and don't want to
have to learn 18 ways to use the escape characters while grading each exam.
I would never do anything that may slow the proctors job or make it any more
difficult. The last thing you want to do is irk a proctor because he is
reverse telneted into a router checking your configs and he can't get back
to the terminal server. Trust me here-

Subject: RE: my favorite aliases
Thanks for the input.
I like the idea of using 2 char aliases, and aliasing some commonly used
clear commands. Show protocol would be more useful if it didn't pause after
displaying each interface(wtf is up with that?). ever try that command on a
fully loaded 7507? uugh. Don't know how I ever got by without the regexp
output modifier in IOS 12
I'm dumping the w alias as someone pointed out wr is built in and does the
trick.
a couple of my other favorte time savers:
1. set the con 0 terminal escape char on all the routers to ctrl-g
(escape-character 7) so you can escape your commands without dropping back
to the AS
2. build a quick and dirty menu on the AS and autocommand it to run when
you connect. makes switching between boxes a four keystroke affair
(ctrl-shift-6 x, menu item number, enter to activate exec). They allow you
do to menus on the AS in the lab right?
Menuing example:
interface Loopback0
ip address 10.10.10.254 255.255.255.255
ip host 7505a 2008 10.10.10.254
ip host 2924a 2006 10.10.10.254
ip host 2513b 2004 10.10.10.254
ip host 2513a 2003 10.10.10.254
ip host 2514b 2002 10.10.10.254
ip host 2514a 2001 10.10.10.254
ip host 5002a 2007 10.10.10.254
ip host 2900a 2006 10.10.10.254
ip host 7507a 2009 10.10.10.254
ip host 3600a 2005 10.10.10.254
menu main text 1 2514a
menu main command 1 resume 2514a /connect telnet 2514a
menu main text 2 2514b
menu main command 2 resume 2514b /connect telnet 2514b
menu main text 3 2513a
menu main command 3 resume 2513a /connect telnet 2513a
menu main text 4 2513b
menu main command 4 resume 2513b /connect telnet 2513b
menu main text 5 3600a
menu main command 5 resume 3600a /connect telnet 3600a
menu main text 6 2924a
menu main command 6 resume 2924a /connect telnet 2924a
menu main text 7 5002a
menu main command 7 resume 5002a /connect telnet 5002a
menu main text 8 7505a
menu main command 8 resume 7505a /connect telnet 7505a
menu main text 9 Quit the menu
menu main command 9 menu-exit
It looks long, but you can build it fast by cutting and pasting the pieces
in a text editor

show protocols is very good-why?
shows all configured interface protocols and VERY important, IP masks!
show ip interfac brief
bc -clear ip bgp *
ci -clear ip route *
bs -sho ip bgp summ
bn -show ip bgp neigh x.x.x.x adv routes, rout--this one is nice-you can see
the BGP tables of routers you have no control over-try it
