Interface descriptions
3.2.2 This page will explain what interface descriptions are and why they are used.
An interface description should identify important information such as a router, a circuit number, or a specific network segment. A description of an interface can help a network user remember specific information about the interface, such as what network the interface services.
The description will appear in the configuration files that exist in the router memory. However, it will not affect the operation of a router. A description only provides information about an interface. Descriptions are created by following a standard format that applies to each interface. The description may include the purpose and location of the interface, other devices or locations connected to the interface, and circuit identifiers. Descriptions allow support personnel to better understand the scope of problems related to an interface and allow for faster resolution of problems.
The next page will describe how interface descriptions are configured.
