Hello!
On ArubaOS-Switch, there is the command "show name" that will get you a list of all of the ports connected like a switch including their descriptions:
SW1903# show name

However, I cannot find anything similar to this very useful feature on ArubaOS-CX.
The best I've been able to do is this:
SW1902(config)# alias shn show interface | begin 2 "Interface 1/1/" | exclude "Admin state" | exclude "State information"
SW1902(config)# shn

It would be better if ArubaOS-CX contained a proper "show name" or "show interface description" command rather than having to hack together something like this (which still isn't as compact as I'd like...)
