Using Friendly (Optional) Port Names
This feature enables you to assign alphanumeric port names of your choosing
to augment automatically assigned numeric port names. This means you can
configure meaningful port names to make it easier to identify the source of
information listed by some
Show
commands. (Note that this feature
augments
port numbering, but
does not replace
it.)
Configuring and Operating Rules for Friendly Port
Names

At either the global or context configuration level you can assign a unique
name to a port. You can also assign the same name to multiple ports.
