auto-identification. This command is not supported on combo ports and fiber ports.
Parameters:
auto indicates auto identification of cable types;
across indicates crossover cable support only;
normal indicates straight-through cable support only.
Command mode:
Port Mode.
Default:
Port cable type is set to auto-identification by default.

Auto-identification is recommended. Generally, straight-through cable is used for switch-PC
connection and crossover cable is used for switch-switch connection.

3.1.8 name
Command:
name <string>
no name
Function:
Set name for specified port; the “no name” command cancels this configuration.
Parameter:
<string> is a character string, which should not exceeds 32 characters.
Command Mode:
Port Mode.
Default:
No port name by default.
Usage Guide:
This command is for helping the user manage switches, such as the user assign names according
to the port application, e.g. financial as the name of 1/1-2 ports which is used by financial
department, engineering as the name of 1/9 ports which belongs to the engineering department,
while the name of 1/12 ports is assigned with Server, which is because they connected to the server.
In this way the port distribution state will be brought to the table.
