## DESCRIPTION
The New-OPNSenseAlias cmdlet creates a new alias on an OPNSense firewall. Aliases are used to define groups of network objects that can be referenced in firewall rules.

## EXAMPLES

### Example 1: Create a new host alias
```powershell
New-OPNSenseAlias -Name "WebServers" -Type "host" -Content "192.168.1.10", "192.168.1.11" -Description "Web Servers"
```

This example creates a new host alias named "WebServers" containing two IP addresses.

### Example 2: Create a new network alias
```powershell
New-OPNSenseAlias -Name "RemoteNetworks" -Type "network" -Content "10.0.0.0/24", "172.16.0.0/16" -Description "Remote Networks"
```

This example creates a new network alias named "RemoteNetworks" containing two network ranges.

### Example 3: Create a new port alias
```powershell
New-OPNSenseAlias -Name "WebPorts" -Type "port" -Content "80", "443" -Description "Web Ports"
```

This example creates a new port alias named "WebPorts" containing two port numbers.
