Cisco Shortcuts!

Well this may be common to some of you but I'm using these tips and it really helps me.

When you start to grow your lab and knowledge this will help you connect/control your boxes. Now the aliases will work best but ip host is also useful.

SW-3750(config)#ip host SW3550 172.20.20.200
SW-3750(config)#exit
SW-3750#ssh sw3550

*****************************************************************

SW-3550(config)#alias exec c config t <--- ( how to build one)

Exec mode aliases:
h help
lo logout
p ping
r resume
s show
u undebug
un undebug
c config t
srb show run | begin
sri show run | include
srs show run | section
sir show ip route
siib show ip interface brief
sis show interfaces status
w wr
ctf copy tftp flash
csf copy start flash
crs copy run start

Hope this helps!

You set up "w" for "wr"? That really is efficiency!

nice thread:

My fav thing I Picked up alately is:

switch(config)#default interface fa 0/1

Set the port back to a default configuration, saves you putting all the settings back in with a 'no' in front.

My 2 Bits

Why do lo for logout when you can just use q for quit without adding any shortcuts!

Some of my favorites:

show run | section
interface range
