Configure a Global I-SID Name

Use this procedure to provide a descriptive name for the Service Identifier (I-SID).

Note

Product Notice: This procedure does not apply to VSP 8600 Series.

You can configure a service name for I-SIDs, loopback interfaces, and static routes. You can configure the service name can before or after you create the I-SID for the following services:

Layer 2 VSN
Layer 3 VSN
ELAN I-SID or Switched UNI I-SID
ELAN transparent I-SID or Transparent UNI I-SID
IPv4 and IPv6 static routes
IPv4 and IPv6 loopback CLIP interface

Note

The service name for I-SIDs does not support the following special characters: “ ” # $ % ‘ / [ \ ] ^ { | } ~ @.

By default, the service name is ISID-x, where x correlates to the I-SID number of the service.

Note

Product Notice: For XA1400 Series, you can configure a service name for IPv4 static routes and IPv4 loopback CLIP interfaces only.

Procedure

Enter Global Configuration mode:

enable

configure terminal
Enter a name for the global I-SID.
i-sid name <1-6777215> WORD<1-64>
Display I-SID names for all configured I-SIDs.
show i-sid name
Display I-SID name by I-SID.
show i-sid name <1-6777215>

Example

Switch:1>enable
Switch:1#configure terminal
Switch:1(config)#i-sid name 1 ExtremeServer1
Switch:1(config)#i-sid name 20 ExtremeServer7
