How to Add Port Description on Huawei MA5600T

How to Add Port Description on Huawei MA5600T

Prerequisites

A board must be added to the system.

Context

After the description of a physical port on the board is added, the description facilitates

information query in system maintenance.

Example

Plan the format of user port description as "community ID-building ID-floor ID/subrack ID-slot

ID-port ID". "Community ID-building ID-floor ID" indicates the physical location where the

user terminal is deployed, and subrack ID-slot ID-port ID" indicates the physical port on the

local device that is connected to the user terminal. This plan can present the user terminal location

and the connection between the user terminal and the device, which facilitates query in

maintenance. Assume that the user terminal that is connected to port 0/2/0 of the MA5600T/

MA5603T/MA5608T is deployed in floor 1, building 01 of community A. To add port

description according to the plan, do as follows:

huawei(config)#port desc 0/2/0 description A-01-01/0-2-0

huawei(config)#display port desc 0/2/0

F/ S/ P IMA Group Port Description

------------------------------------------------------------

0/ 2/ 0 - A-01-01/0-2-0

Procedure

Step 1 In the global config mode, run the port desc command to add port description.

Port description is a character string, used to identify a port on a board in a slot of a subrack.

Step 2 Run the display port desc command to query port description.

----End

This configuration also works for MA5603T/MA5608T.
