Figure 8-2 How Frame Processing Affects Ethernet Transmit Frame Statistics
Port labels serve as a useful reference point and as an accurate means
of identifying your ports for management. You may want to label your
Ethernet ports so that you can easily identify the device specifically
attached to each port (for example, LAN, workstation, or server).
To label an Ethernet port:
1 From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:
ethernet label
2 At the prompt, select the slot(s) related to the port(s) you want to label.
3 Enter the port(s) you want to label.
4 Enter the label of each Ethernet port.
Port labels can be a maximum of 32 characters in length. The new port
label appears next time you display information for that port.
