    Do the mobility access switches have anything like the 'show interface descriptions' command? I know that 'show interface status' will give you a truncated port description and sometimes that's enough to go on, but to just be able to see the labels you've applied to ports is a big time-saver when you're troubleshooting and need to know what's connected to a certain port. Maybe someone has already submitted a request for this in an upcoming firmware rev?

    It isn't perfect but:

     

    show interface | include "is admin,face is"

    Thank you!! That's good information. I was able to take the command you gave and tweak it just a little to get what I'm looking for (I changed it to:

     

    show interface | include "GE,face is"

     

    That did the trick! Appreciate the help.

    Try the "show name"

    Thanks for the suggestion, but there is no 'show name' command in the CLI for the Aruba Mobility Access Switches. There is for the HP-branded equipment - we have 5412 and a 5406 - and I use 'show name' frequently on those. I wish the MASs had it, but at last check they do not.

    The best I've been able to come up with is this:

     

    show running-config | include "/0/0,**"

     

    This only works because when I put in a description for an interface, I always put a couple of asterisks at the beginning and end of the description, i.e.:

     

    (Aruba MAS) (config) #interface gigabitethernet 3/0/0
    (Aruba MAS) (gigabitethernet "3/0/0") #description "**Drop M-207, Rm. 230**"
