Extreme Networks ExtremeWare - Configure Ports Display-String

configure ports display-string
ExtremeWare Software 7.3.0 Command Reference Guide 243
configure ports display-string
configure ports [<portlist> | mgmt] display-string <alphanumeric string>
Description
Configures a user-defined string for a port or group of ports.
Syntax Description
Default
N/A.
Usage Guidelines
On a modular switch, <portlist> can be a list of slots and ports. On a stand-alone switch, <portlist>
can be one or more port numbers. For a detailed explanation of port specification, see
“Modular Switch
Numerical Ranges” or “Stand-alone Switch Numerical Ranges” in Chapter 1.
The display string can be up to 16 characters. Display strings do not need to be unique for each
port—you can assign the same string to multiple ports. For example, you could give all the ports that
connected to a particular department a common display string.
The string is displayed in certain commands such as the show ports info command.
Example
The following command configures the user-defined string corporate for port 1 on a stand-alone switch:
configure ports 1 display-string corporate
The following command configures the user-defined string corporate for ports 3, 4, and 5 on slot 1 on a
modular switch:
configure ports 1:3-5 display-string corporate
