NOTE: A slot option appears on the chassis port configuration sheet. Slot corresponds to a module slot number.
See “Slot and Port Numbers” on page 9-16.
NOTE: The IEEE Tagging option appears only on the Port configuration sheet when tagging is enabled at the
system level and a VLAN is defined on the system.
NOTE: The port speed option 1 Gbps is displayed only when a 1000BaseSX, 1000BaseLX, 1000BaseT, or
1000BaseLH Gigabit port or module is resident on the switch or router. Additionally, only the full-duplex mode is
visible. When a 10/100BaseTX Ethernet port or module is being configured, the options are 10/100 Auto, 10
Mbps, and 100 Mbps.
Assigning a Port Name
A port name can be assigned to help identify interfaces on the network. You can assign a port name to physical
ports, virtual interfaces, and loopback interfaces.
USING THE CLI
To assign a name to a port:
BigIron(config)# interface e 2/8
BigIron(config-if-2/8)# port-name Marsha the Marketing Monkey
Syntax: port-name <text>
The <text> parameter is an alphanumeric string. The name can be up to 64 characters long on Stackable devices
and up to 255 characters long on Chassis devices, including the TurboIron/8. The name can contain blanks. You
do not need to use quotation marks around the string, even when it contains blanks.
USING THE WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE
1. Log on to the device using a valid user name and password for read-write access. The System configuration
panel is displayed.
2. Click on the plus sign next to Configure in the tree view to display the configuration options.
