statistics for that port. (The friendly port name data comes from the running-config file.)
■ show config: Includes friendly port names in the per-port data of the resulting configuration

To List All Ports or Selected Ports with Their Friendly Port Names. This command lists
names assigned to a specific port.

port number and port type. show name alone lists
this data for all ports on the switch.
