Command Mode:
Port Mode.
Default:
No port name by default.
Usage Guide:
This command is for helping the user manage switches, such as the user assign names according to the port
application, e.g. financial as the name of 1/1-2 ports which is used by financial department, engineering as the name
of 1/9 ports which belongs to the engineering department, while the name of 1/12 ports is assigned with Server,
which is because they connected to the server. In this way the port distribution state will be brought to the table.

Specify the description of 1/1-2 port as financial.
Switch(config)#interface ethernet 1/1-2
Switch(Config-If-Port-Range)#description financial
