Searching the configuration for ports with friendly port names (CLI)

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.

See Listing of the startup-config file with a friendly port name configured (and saved) to configure port A1 with a friendly port name. Notice that the command sequence saves the friendly port name for port A1 in the startup-config file. The name entered for port A2 is not saved because it was executed after write memory.

switch(config)# int A1 name Print_Server@10.25.101.43
switch(config)# write mem
switch(config)# int A2 name Herbert's_PC

switch(config)# show config
