Enhancements in Release F.04.08

Using Friendly (Optional) Port Names

For a given port, if a friendly port name does not exist in the running-config file, the Name line in the above command output appears as:

Name : not assigned

To Search the Configuration for Ports with Friendly Port Names. This option tells you which friendly port names have been saved to the startup-config file. (The show config command does not include ports that have only default settings in the startup-config file.)

Syntax:

show config

Includes friendly port names in a listing of all interfaces (ports)

 

 

configured with non-default settings. Excludes ports that have

 

 

neither a friendly port name nor any other non-default

 

 

configuration settings.
For example, if you configure port 1 with a friendly port name:

This command sequence saves the friendly port name for port 1 in the startup-config file, but does not do so for the name entered for port 2.

Listing includes friendly port name for port 1 only.

In this case, show config lists only port 1. Executing write mem after entering the name for port 2, and then executing show config again would result in a listing that includes both ports.
