Usage notes The interface alias can also be set via SNMP.
Third-party management systems often use standard MIBs to access device
information. Network managers can specify an alias interface name to provide a
non-volatile way to access the interface.
Example To configure the alias interface name ‘uplink_a’ for port1.0.1, use the following
commands:
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# interface port1.0.1
awplus(config-if)# alias uplink_a
To remove an alias interface name from port1.0.1, use the following commands:
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# interface port1.0.1
awplus(config-if)# no alias
