Setting The Port Name; Setting The Port Priority Level - Cisco WS-C4003 - Catalyst 4000 Chassis Switch Software Configuration Manual

Chapter 5 Configuring Gigabit Ethernet Switching

Setting the Port Name

You can assign names to the ports on Gigabit Ethernet modules to facilitate switch administration.
To assign a name to a port, perform this task in privileged mode:
Task
Step 1
Assign a name to a port.
Step 2
Verify that the port name is configured.
This example shows how to set the name for ports 2/1 and 2/2 and how to verify that the port names are
configured correctly:
Console> (enable) set port name 2/1 Backbone Connection
Port 2/1 name set.
Console> (enable) set port name 2/2 Wiring Closet
Port 2/2 name set.
Console> (enable) show port 2

Setting the Port Priority Level

You can configure the priority level for each port. When two ports simultaneously request access to the
switching bus, the switch uses the priority level to determine the order in which the ports
get access.
To set the port priority level, perform this task in privileged mode:
Task
Step 1
Configure the priority level for a port.
Step 2
Verify that the port priority level is configured
correctly.
This example shows how to set the port priority level to high for port 2/1 and verify that the port priority
is configured correctly:
Console> (enable) set port level 2/1 high
Port 2/1 level set to high.
Console> (enable) show port 2/1
