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.
BigIron RX(config)# ip show-portname
This command is applied globally to all interfaces on the BigIron RX.
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.
