command macros possible in IOS?

thorsten.steffen · ‎09-27-2007

Hello,

I very often use the a couple of commands in the same order on our ios routers.

Is there any possibility to create a macro or alias which runs then several commands.

What I mean is to enter simply one alias or macro name on the cli which then runs some commands like

show interface

show interface counter

show vlan

Best Regards,

Thorsten

Hi,

if I understand the documentation of the alias command correctly you can only program a 1-to-1 alias.

What I am searching for is a macro where I can enter only one alias which then runs several commands.

Hi,

if your requirement is to run few set of commands on multiple routers. Then the best way is to use a utility called as Kiwi CAT. With this you can configure the required set of commands for mulitple devices and schedule it.
