Displaying the Interface Name in Syslog Messages

By default, an interface's slot number (if applicable) and port number are displayed when you display Syslog
messages. If you want to display the name of the interface instead of its number, enter the following command:
HP9300(config)# ip show-portname
This command is applied globally to all interfaces on Routing Switches.
Syntax: [no] Ip show-portname
When you display the messages in the Syslog, you see the interface name under the Dynamic Log Buffer section.
The actual interface number is appended to the interface name. For example, if the interface name is "lab" and its
port number is "2", you see "lab2" displayed as in the example below:
