Cisco Tip: Clearing Switch Port Names

One of the most important points to remember when configuring switch ports is to configure port names. To do so, you use the set port name mod/port [port_name] command.

If your intention is to clear the port name, for example if you are disabling the port, you would still use the set port name command. However, the point to remember is that you would not enter anything after the mod/port.

Also, please remember when configuring your port names that they must be fewer than 21 characters.
