Loopback3 30.0.0.49 YES NVRAM up up

confused again? do you know any command as "siib" which displays ip interfaces ????


iam using aliases .. yep..

let me show you my aliases


alias exec siib show ip int brief
alias exec sip show ip proto
alias exec sr show run
alias exec sir show ip route
alias exec siet show ip eigrp topo
alias exec si show inter
alias exec l loopback


i think you got my point now ....

so how to use?

ro#config t
ro(config)#alias exec (your shortcut) (command)
for example

r0(config)#alias exec siib show ip int brief

thats it you are done ...


and

to skip from annoying terminal messages and time outs use following

line con 0
exec-timeout 0 0
logging synchronous


.. and hint: you need not type entire aliases and console statements for every router ..

time them on one router ... executer

r0#show run

ip http server
!
!
!
!
control-plane
!
alias exec siib show ip int brief
alias exec sip show ip proto
alias exec sr show run
alias exec sir show ip route
alias exec siet show ip eigrp topo
alias exec si show inter
alias exec l loopback
!
line con 0
exec-timeout 0 0
logging synchronous
line aux 0
line vty 0 4
login
!
!
end

r0#

and simply copy and paste it in other router in confit mode...

thats it , it so simple to use ..

next post i will be posting the router configs and some of the displays from my router topologies

please feel free to ask if you dint understand or has a better way to do things
