Port Status and Configuration

Using Friendly (Optional) Port Names

For example, if you configure port A1 with a friendly port name:

This command sequence saves the friendly port name for port A1 in the startup- config file. The name entered for port A2 is not saved because it was executed after write memory.

; 498358-B21 Configuration Editor; Created on release #Z.14.04

Listing includes friendly port name for port A1 only.

In this case, show config lists only port A1. Executing write mem after entering the name for port A2, and then executing show config again would result in a listing that includes both ports.
