| The host-alias command allows associating a more identifiable | |
| name with the host identified by entering the host submode. | |
| Host aliases must start with an alphabetic character, and | |
| can continue with alphanumerics, '_', or '-'. The maximum length of a | |
| host alias is 255 characters. | |
| Once an alias is associated with a host, various show commands | |
| will provide the alias along with, or instead of the mac | |
| address to identify the host. |
