Create an alias for a frequently used show vlans custom
command to avoid entering the selected columns each time you use the command.
Using a VLAN alias
HP Switch(config)#: alias showvlanstatus = “show vlan custom A1-A3 id name:20 status” HP Switch(config)#: show vlan status Status and Counters - VLAN Information - Custom view VLANID VLAN name Status ------ -------------------- ---------- 1 DEFAULT_VLAN Port-based 33 Vlan33 Port-based
If a pattern matching command is in a search for a field in the output of the show vlan custom
command and it produces an error, the error message may not be visible. For example, if you enter a command with the pattern matching include
option that contains an error (such as 'vlan' is misspelled) as in the following example, the output may be empty:
HP Switch(config)#: show vlans custom 1-3 name vlun include vlan1
HP recommends that you try the show vlans custom
command first to ensure there is output, and then enter the command again with the pattern matching option.
