Cisco Switch : set port name?

Node Man

Hi Everyone,
I can't seem to find the proper way to give a name to an ethernet port on a switch. Can anyone show the correct way? :

Switch#show interface status

Port Name Status Vlan Duplex Speed Type
Fa0/1 connected trunk a-full a-100 10/100BaseTX
Fa0/2 connected trunk a-full a-100 10/100BaseTX


Thanks!

I usually just use descriptions for naming:

conf t
int fa0/1
description portname-here

but theres also a "set port name" which is probably what youre looking for
conf t
set port name fa0/1 portname-here
