As your experience grows, your familiarity with shortcut commands will as
well.

Some people simply are not comfortable with shortcuts and like to tab
everything out. If you are one of these people, then aliases are for you!

I'm not sure I'd recommend 25 of them, but if it helps you then that's cool.
I'd just suggest that you paste the same ones onto ALL devices so there is
no moment of confusion.

Personally I don't use any, but I type fast anyway, and am pretty good with
IOS shorthand.

It's all a personal thing though!

Last time I went to RTP to ATTEMPT (being the keyword) the kids there around
me blasted like 25 alias into each device the SECOND the proctor let us get
on our computers.

 

Do any of you do this?

 

Do you really need an alias for something so lame as "show ip eigrp
neighbor"

 

How many times do think you are going to type that in the lab?

 

I'm just wondering if this is the norm, or is it a bootcamp thing?

 

I personally like "command discretion" where right before I use a command I
remember all the similar commands, and their inter-relationship.

 

Thanks,

 

Joe
