Assign VLAN Name

Hi,

I’m creating a couple new VLANs. The method is different on a VDX where you apply the # interface vlan x, and in that configuration context according to the documentation you should be able to apply a logical name using the # name logical_name command, but I don’t see that anywhere in the cli!

From the documentation

Examples
Assign the name "marketing" to VLAN 1000:
device# configure
device(config)# interface vlan 1000
device(config-Vlan-1000)# name marketing
device(config-Vlan-1000)

From my switch (there’s no name command)

SYD4-PN-SW05(config)# interface Vlan 5
SYD4-PN-SW05(config-Vlan-5)# ?
Possible completions:
description Interface specific description
do Run an operational-mode command
exit Exit from current mode
help Provide help information
ip The Internet Protocol (IP).
mac Configure MAC parameters
no Negate a command or set its defaults
private-vlan Configure vlan as private vlan
pwd Display current mode path
rspan-vlan Configure the vlan as rspan vlan
spanning-tree Spanning tree commands
top Exit to top level and optionally run command
transport-service Set tlsid for Transparent vlan

Am I missing something here?

NOS version is 4.1.3d

Hi Russ,

In this instance you would use ‘description’

In your example:

SYD4-PN-SW05(config)# interface vlan 5
SYD4-PN-SW05(config-Vlan-5)# description marketing

In later versions of NOS it also has the option: ‘name’
