[e-nsp] cisco / juniper / etc "description" equivalent for Extreme

[Swen Wulf]

To set a port description: 
config port x display-name "Server 1"
 
To find out what is connected. If it is a other extreme switch "show edp" will show you. Otherwise you can only find out the MAC address with "show fdb port x" or even the IP if the switch is doing L3 and is on the same subnet as what is plugged with  "show iparp".
 
The hostname setting...oh well, its different than Cisco but actually if you think about it, its lean and clean.
 
I am not sure if with 7.4 you have the ability to filter output. Do the command "show vlan" and hit the tab to see if you can say "match", which works on newer Extreme Switches and compares to the " | incl " command on Cisco.

Hi, All.

I'm very new with Extreme Networks equipment.

For i couple of days i've beed playing with a couple of Summit48si,
but i haven't found a way to set description to interfaces. Is there a
way to know what's connected to a specific port other than keeping an
external list?

I was also amused that in order to change the hostname i changed the
snmp sysName :)

Running 7.4.2.6.

Thanks,
