Usage Guidelines
• You can only configure one port at time. You cannot configure an alias for multiple ports.
• To remove an alias use a description consisting of two quotes without any spaces (e.g., "").
• On combo ports the configuration changes made with the interfaces alias command apply to both the
fiber SFP port and to the copper RJ-45 port. You cannot configure separate aliases.
Examples
-> interfaces 3/1 alias switch_port
-> interfaces 2/2 alias "IP Phone"
