Configures a user-defined string for a port or group of ports.
|
port_list |
Specifies one or more ports or slots and ports. |
|
string |
Specifies a user-defined display string. |
The null string is the default.
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.
The following command configures the user-defined string corporate for port 1 on a stand-alone switch:
configure ports 1 display-string corporate
