Functional Notes
The ifAlias OID is a member of the ifXEntry object-type (defined in RFC 2863) used to provide a
nonvolatile, unique name for various interfaces. This name is preserved through power cycles. Enter a
string (using the alias command) which clearly identifies the interface.
Usage Examples
The following example defines a unique character string for the T1 interface:
(config)#interface t1 1/1
(config-t1 1/1)#alias "CIRCUIT_ID_23-908-8887-401"

Please refer to RFC 2863 for more detailed information on the ifAlias display string.
