Port Description Settings

The Switch supports a port description feature where the user may assign names to various ports on the Switch.
Use the From Port To Port pull-down menu to choose a port or range of ports to describe, and then enter a
description of the port(s). Click Apply to set the descriptions in the Port Description Table.

The result will be displayed in the appropriate switch port number slot (C for copper ports and F for fiber ports).
