Assigning a port name
NOTE
To modify Layer 2, Layer 3, or Layer 4 features on a port, refer to the appropriate section in this
chapter or other chapters. For example, to modify Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) parameters for a
port, refer to “Changing STP port parameters” on page 330.
To configure trunk groups or dynamic link aggregation, refer to Chapter 8, “Link Aggregation”.
All device ports are pre-configured with default values that allow the device to be fully operational
at initial startup without any additional configuration. However, in some cases, changes to the port
parameters may be necessary to adjust to attached devices or other network requirements.
A port name can be assigned to help identify interfaces on the network. You can assign a port
name to physical ports, virtual routing interfaces, and loopback interfaces.
To assign a name to a port.
