After 3 trips to the Cisco deli at RTP...
I can firmly say that even a hunt and pecker like me
didn't really need aliases so much...
On the flip side, if I made typos... maybe I did.
On the job side, my partner in crime has made a firm
believer in me to copy/paste whatever you can and
whenever you can...
Also the CLI has a wonderful command for increasing
the commands kept in history...
Nice just to arrow up.
The CLI comes with a few built in aliases as well.
Not to totally discourage the use of aliases, I have
become fond of the three I remember and use pretty
regularly from my NMC class days...
And new shortcuts like including the section of a
configuration is really cool too.
I mean...
Aside from getting sleep and being able to sleep the
night before... I'd say that is the major phobia for
me. And besides I'd rather be awake for one of these
labs and gourmet meals for once...
:)
I think the time spent learning aliases might be
better spent on:
- spanning-tree manipulation and metrics
- deciphering each field per routing protocol
- subnetting on the fly while on fire while standing
on a mound of dynamite and c4 explosives and
bound/gagged with a taqrantula crawling up you leg
- route-maps
- qos
- playing with every variant of multicast
- acls and more acls
- etc.
- bgp bgp bgp (to quote a class mate at NMC)
Yep there's enough of these things and more to get
ya... and keep ya busy...
Man I don't want to go to the lab like 10 times...
:)
