JUNOSe 9.1.x Command Reference Guide A to M > I Commands > ip description

ip description

Description: 

Assigns a text description or an alias to a static IP interface or subinterface. If no IP interface currently exists, then a static IP interface is automatically created on the current layer 2 interface and the description is applied to that static IP interface. You cannot assign a profile to a layer 2 interface that has a static interface configured above it. Use the show ip interface command to display the text description. The no version removes the description or alias.

NOTE: This command is replacing the description command to assign a description to a static IP interface. The description command may be removed completely from Interface Configuration mode in a future release.

Syntax: 

ip description name

no ip description

• name—Name for the static IP interface; string of up to 256 characters

Mode(s): 

Interface Configuration, Subinterface Configuration
