Interface Descriptions
Setting descriptions on an interface is helpful to the administrator and, like the hostname, only locally significant. The description command is a helpful one because you can, for instance, use it to keep track of circuit numbers. Heres an example:
Atlanta(config)#int e0 Atlanta(config-if)#description Sales Lan Atlanta(config-if)#int s0 Atlanta(config-if)#desc Wan to Miami circuit:6fdda4321
You can view the description of an interface either with the show running-config command or the show interface command.
