Port Status and Basic Configuration
Using Friendly (Optional) Port Names
To Search the Configuration for Ports with Friendly Port Names.
This option tells you which friendly port names have been saved to the startup-
config file. (show config does not include ports that have only default settings
in the startup-config file.)
Syntax: show config
Includes friendly port names in a listing of all interfaces
(ports) configured with non-default settings. Excludes
ports that have neither a friendly port name nor any other
non-default configuration settings.
For example, if you configure port 1 with a friendly port name:
Figure 10-22. Example Listing of the Startup-Config File with a Friendly Port Name Configured (and Saved)
This command sequence
saves the friendly port name
for port 1 in the startup-config
file, but does not do so for the
name entered for port 2.
In this case, show config lists
only port 1. Executing write
mem after entering the name for
port 2, and then executing show
config again would result in a
listing that includes both ports.
Listing includes friendly
port name for port 1
only.
