Description
For the Ethernet and management interfaces, you can configure the description parameter to provide a
recognizable name for the interface. Using a unique name for each interface allows you to quickly
identify the interface when you are looking at a listing of multiple interfaces.
For information on setting the description parameter for port-channel interfaces, see the “Configuring a
Port-Channel Description” section on page 6-24. For information on configuring this parameter for other
interfaces, see the “Configuring the Description” section on page 2-16.
Beacon
The beacon mode allows you to identify a physical port by flashing its link state LED with a green light.
By default, this mode is disabled. To identify the physical port for an interface, you can activate the
beacon parameter for the interface.
For information on configuring the beacon parameter, see the “Configuring the Beacon Mode” section
on page 2-17.
