Download EPUBconfigure ports display-string
Description
Configures a user-defined string for a port or group of ports.
Syntax Description
|
port_list |
Specifies one or more ports or slots and ports. |
|
string |
Specifies a user-defined display string. |
Default
The null string is the default.
Usage Guidelines
The display string can be up to 15 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 information command.
Note
Do not use a port number as a display string. For example, do not assign the display string “2” to port2.
Example
The following command configures the user-defined string corporate for port 1 on a stand-alone switch:
configure ports 1 display-string corporate
History
