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 device.
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.
BigIron RX# show logging
Syslog logging: enabled (0 messages dropped, 0 flushes, 0 overruns)
Static Log Buffer:
Dec 15 19:04:14:A:Fan 1, fan on right connector, failed
Dynamic Log Buffer (50 entries):
Dec 15 18:46:17:I:Interface ethernet Lab2, state up
Dec 15 18:45:15:I:Warm start

Displaying TCP/UDP port numbers in Syslog messages

The command ip show-acl-service-number allows you to change the display of TCP/UDP application
information from the TCP/UDP well-known port name to the TCP/UDP port number. For example,
entering the following command causes the device to display http (the well-known port name)
instead of 80 (the port number) in the output of show commands, and other commands that
contain application port information. By default, the device displays TCP/UDP application
information in named notation.
In this release, you can display TCP/UDP port number instead of their names in syslog messages by
entering the following command.
BigIron(config)# ip show-service-number-in-log
Syntax: [no]ip show-service-number-in-log
