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.
All Brocade 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.
Assigning a port name
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, enter the following command.
Brocade(config)# interface e 2/8
Brocade(config-if-e10000-2/8)# port-name Marsha Markey
