Assign an ext. name

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

Can you assign an extension name (or description) to each ActivReach port ?

Thanks M.A.

Thank you for asking this question in the support community.  Let me know if I do not understand your question properly, but I believe you are referring to the description command.  For example if I wanted to add a line of text (description) to gigabit-switchport 0/1 that read "CONNECTS TO OFFICE 1," I would enter the following commands:

> enable

<enter password if prompted>

# configure terminal

(config)# interface gigabit-switchport 0/1

(config-giga-swx 0/1)# description CONNECTS TO OFFICE 1

The configuration would look similar to the following:

interface gigabit-switchport 0/1

  description CONNECTS TO OFFICE 1

  no shutdown

Furthermore, this can be achieved in the web interface by navigating to the following:  Data > Ports > giga-swx 0/1 > Port Description:

I hope that makes sense, but please do not hesitate to reply with any additional questions or information.  I will be happy to help in any way I can.

I just wanted to jump in and add to this post that ADTRAN has now released an ActivReach Configuration and Troubleshooting guide called for any customers who may be looking at this thread for ActivReach information. Check it out!
