ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 Command Reference Guide
319
configure ports display-string
configure ports <port_list> display-string <string>
Description
Configures a user-defined string for a port or group of ports.
Syntax Description
Default
N/A.
Usage Guidelines
The display string can be up to 15 characters. Display strings do not need to be unique for each port—
you can assign the same string to multiple ports. For example, you could give all the ports that
connected to a particular department a common display string.
The string is displayed in certain commands such as the
show ports information
command.
NOTE
Do not use a port number as a display string. For example, do not assign the display string “2” to port 2.
Example
The following command configures the user-defined string
corporate
for port 1 on a stand-alone switch:
configure ports 1 display-string corporate
The following command configures the user-defined string
corporate
for ports 3, 4, and 5 on slot 1 on a
modular switch:
configure ports 1:3-5 display-string corporate
