Configuring the same name for multiple ports

Suppose that you want to use ports A5 through A8 as a trunked link to a server used by a drafting group. In this case you might configure ports A5 through A8 with the name "Draft-Server:Trunk."

Example of configuring one friendly port name on multiple ports

switch# int a5-a8 name Draft-Server:Trunk
switch# write mem
switch# show name a5-a8
