Hi Michael,
Nice alias list. I use about 15-20 aliases myself. I like the use of the
ACL 199 and the debug ip routing (never thought of that one).
The only aliases that I can suggest to add are:
alias configure ac alias configure
ac ae alias exec
That way one doesn't have to type 'alias configure' and 'alias exec' 20+
times. I have a suspicion you may already use them but didn't include them
as it maybe a little confusing at first.
Overall, thanks for the post. I think there are always one or two new
people to the GroupStudy list that are enlightened when the alias posts pop
up every two months or so.
Happy routing,
Sean

Subject: Add the find command to your IOS.
Got your attention didn't I.
Really it's just an exec alias I've been using, that I like a lot.
Thought I would share it with the Groupstudy Listonians.
'alias exec f show running-config | begin'
I used a single keystoke 'f' for find. Try it.
f aux, f router, f access-l, f vty, etc.
Below is my complete alias list, version 3. I have weaned it down to
less than 40 commands; version 1 had some 70 commands about two months
ago.
I had two opposing goals with my alias lists. Single or double
keystrokes for quick use and some kind of pattern that could be
remembered. Ashame that you can't send in your alias list to the lab,
and have it waiting for you on test day. Anyway, I think I have
something that is very useful, and that can be remembered.
For example.
'si' is show ip route
'di' is debug ip routing
'ci' is clear ip routing
Another example,
'sb' is show ip bgp
'db' is debug ip bgp
'cb' is clear ip bpg
Note, some of the alias are not complete, they need additional
parameters. For example, 'db' should be used as 'db update' for debug
ip bgp updates. This is how I reduced the total number of aliases.
Some I didn't reduce just because I just like using them. For example,
I really like the config mode 'b' command. It is used as in 'b 2' to
enter router bgp 2. Saves a lot of typing and fat finger mistakes.
Others don't need to be remembered. I use 'x' for exit in every common
mode I use. Exec, Config, Interface, Sub Interface, and Router.
The single exec keystroke of 's' is very sweet. It's the most common
command I use. It does a show ip int brief and filters out any unused
interfaces. Other enhancements are in the 'si' command, it does a show
ip route command then filters out that damn 7 line header I have seen a
billon times. The 'sr' command does a show run, then filters out the
alias list. Why look at 40 lines of alias code every time you do a show
run?
Good Luck,
Michael
