Description
Configure a textual description of a physical interface
or the logical unit of an interface to be the alias of an interface
name. The alias name can be a single line of text. If the text contains
spaces, enclose it in quotation marks. If you configure an alias name,
the alias name is displayed instead of the interface name in the output
of all show, show interfaces, and other operational
mode commands. In Junos OS Release 12.3R8 and later, display of the
alias can be suppressed in favor of the actual interface name by using
the display no-interface-alias parameter along with the
show command.
Options

Text to denote an easily identifiable, meaningful alias name for the interface. If the text includes spaces, enclose the entire text in quotation marks. |
