Using a unique name for each interface allows you to quickly identify the interface when you are looking at a listing of multiple interfaces. For information on setting the description parameter for port-channel interfaces, see the "Configuring a Port-Channel Description" section on page 6-24. For information on configuring this parameter for other interfaces, see the "Configuring the Description" section on page 2-16.

To identify the physical port for an interface, you can activate the beacon parameter for the interface. For information on configuring the beacon parameter, see the "Configuring the Beacon Mode" section on page 2-17.
