BSR 2000 Command Reference Guide

Release 1.0

 

 

description

The description command is used to specify descriptive information for any interface on the BSR. This information is limited to 79 characters. Use the characters: _ or - to separate words. For example, if a particular CMTS interface served a certain section of a city, the MSO could assign the following description:

MOT(config-if)#description charlestown_1

Note: The entered description can be seen in the running configuration, and in the command output of show commands such as the show ip interface and show running-configcommands.

You can also use SNMP to view the descriptions. However, if you use SNMP to view the descriptions, be aware that SNMP has a display limit of 63 characters. Descriptions beyond this length will appear truncated when viewed via SNMP.
