I am not sure if its just me but I disagree in regards to alias
commands. I dont use many though just 5 roughly.
For example c for config t, r for show ip route, p for show ip
protocols, s for show ip int br, and b for show ip bgp
If you think about how many times you use c and r for example alone:
typing 6-10 less keys every time saves loads of time over the course
of a 8 hour lab, imo.
And for the sake of putting them into notepad and pasting them into
each device i think it worth the effort at the start of the lab.
Anyone else agree?
