show interface <port-number>: Displays the friendly port name, if any, along with the traffic statistics for that port. (The friendly port name data comes from the running-config file.)

show config: Includes friendly port names in the per-port data of the resulting configuration listing. (show config data comes from the startup­ config file.)
