Live and learn.
 
Thanks Bob.  
 
I like that. Much less cutting and pasting than the show ip int brief which
I had been using before.
 
Very Cool.

Tim,
 
I like to use the command SHOW IP ALIAS in order to get a short listing of
the IP addresses on each router. 
 
For example:
 
R1#sh ip alias
Address Type             IP Address      Port
Interface                192.168.0.100 
Interface                50.50.50.1 
Interface                172.16.8.1 
Interface                172.16.7.1 
Interface                172.16.1.1 
Interface                172.16.101.1 
 
 I then past the list into notepad, and do a search-and-replace to get rid
of 
 
"Interface                "
 
Results in a nice list of IP addresses I can use for my TCL script.  
 
Just to confirm your explanation, I added the following command to R1:
 
R1(config)#ip alias 192.168.0.105 23
 
And I was then able to telnet to the 105 address.  Here is the subsequent
output:
 
R1#sh ip alias
Address Type             IP Address      Port
Alias                    192.168.0.105  23
Interface                192.168.0.100 
Interface                50.50.50.1 
Interface                172.16.8.1 
Interface                172.16.7.1 
Interface                172.16.1.1 
Interface                172.16.101.1 
 
Thanks!

Ray,
I think this command falls into the "Stupid Router Tricks" category.
However, nothing in the lab blueprints excludes such things so it could be
there.
That said, here are my notes on it.
Its possible to have a router accept telnet requests to an ip host address
that doesn't exist on any of the router's interfaces.  For example, assume
that the dns entry for a router is entered with the wrong ip address.  If
you configure ip alias <wrong ip> 23, the router will accept that. (See IE
lab 4) The wrong ip address should only be wrong in the host portion of the
address- the subnet should exist on the router. Another possible way to
achieve the same effect is to use 2ndary addressing on an interface.  (See
IE lab 7)
Bob,
Any chance you could post an example of how to use this command to collect
addresses for a TCL script?  Am I missing something obvious cause I don't
see how this command would help?
TIA, Tim

Not sure of its intended use.  I use it to collect IP addresses for my TCL
scripts.  Seems to minimize unnecessary characters.  It also displays
dynamic
addresses, those configured via static NAT or DHCP.

  Hi group,
  What is the correct usage of the ip alias command. I was once told it
  can be useful in the lab. Any thoughts?
  TIA
  Ray
  R1(config)#ip alias ?
  A.B.C.D  IP address to alias to a port
