Using friendly (optional) port names
This feature enables you to assign alphanumeric port names of your choosing to augment automatically assigned
numeric port names. This means you can configure meaningful port names to make it easier to identify the source
of information listed by some show commands. (Note that this feature augments port numbering, but does not
replace it.)
Configuring and operating rules for friendly port names
• At either the global or context configuration level, you can assign a unique name to a port. You can also assign
the same name to multiple ports.
• The friendly port names you configure appear in the output of the show name [port-list], show config, and
show interface <port-number > commands. They do not appear in the output of other show
commands or in Menu interface screens. (See Displaying friendly port names with other port data (CLI) on
page 75.)
• Friendly port names are not a substitute for port numbers in CLI commands or Menu displays.
• Trunking ports together does not affect friendly naming for the individual ports. (If you want the same name for
all ports in a trunk, you must individually assign the name to each port.)
• A friendly port name can have up to 64 contiguous alphanumeric characters.
• Blank spaces within friendly port names are not allowed, and if used, cause an invalid input error. (The switch
interprets a blank space as a name terminator.)
• In a port listing, not assigned indicates that the port does not have a name assignment other than its fixed
port number.
• To retain friendly port names across reboots, you must save the current running-configuration to the startup-
config file after entering the friendly port names. (In the CLI, use the write memory command.)
