Port Status and Configuration
Using Friendly (Optional) Port Names
For example, if you configure port A1 with a friendly port name:
; 498358-B21 Configuration Editor; Created on release #Z.14.04
Figure 10-20. Example Listing of the Startup-Config File with a Friendly Port Name Configured (and Saved)
10-28
This command sequence
saves the friendly port name
for port A1 in the startup­
config file. The name entered
for port A2 is not saved
because it was executed after
write memory.
Listing includes friendly
port name for port A1
only.
In this case, show config lists
only port A1. Executing write
mem after entering the name for
port A2, and then executing
show config again would result
in a listing that includes both
ports.
