I’m a network engineer for Cox Communications, Oklahoma. Nice little blog. Stumbled across your site while doing some research. Are you aware of any way to “alias” a command in Junos, like one can in Cisco-land?

I’ll be visiting again. Very well done site.

Hi –
Well thanks for the compliments! I was just hoping that something I’ve discovered or worked out will be of use to someone, somewhere, somewhen!

I’ve had a look around for a Juniper equivalent of the “alias” command and have drawn a blank to be honest. It could be very useful couldn’t it? An ex colleague of mine works at Juniper, so when I catch him, I’ll see what he knows.

Best regards,
DP

Hey,

Just seen your post about 300 LW Avenue.

I was looking after the lab when you were having the tour – glad you enjoyed it, I took great pride in making her look good!!!

Hi,

We just totally wiped out a Cisco 3560G by wiping the flash without being fully aware of the consequences. Your site really helped with the Cisco Recovery post.

Thanks!

Hello DP,

I have been looking for a Juniper equivalent of the Cisco alias command, but I couldn’t find it. Do you have the answer?

Best Regards,

Hi – I eventually got around to asking a professional services person I know in Juniper who is very good. He tells me there’s (unfortunately) no equivalent, which is a shame…

There is not a command with exact parity to “alias” in the IOS world but I think JUNOS has something more powerful in the way of Op Scripting:

Op Scripts are way more powerful than “alias” and are a great tools for automation.

HTH!

Thanks for the links! I’ve been meaning to look into the op scripting functions of JUNOS for some time now, but never seem to get around to it.
