Using Command Aliases
Like regular commands, aliases are not case sensitive. However, unlike regular commands, some aliases
cannot be abbreviated. See Table 1-2 for a list of switch CLI aliases that cannot be abbreviated.
Using History Substitution
Commands that you enter during each terminal session are stored in a history buffer, which stores the
last 20 commands you entered during a terminal session. History substitution allows you to access these
commands without retyping them by using special abbreviated commands. (See Table 1-3.)
