SONiC does not support interface description.

[amareshpGithub]

show interface description

Interface Oper Admin Alias Description

---

Ethernet0 down up Ethernet0 N/A Ethernet1 down up Ethernet1 N/A Ethernet2 down N/A Ethernet2 N/A

Don't have any config command to configure the interface description.

@amareshpGithub new request.

[prgeor]

@amareshpGithub do you mean to configure the interface description via CONFIG_DB CLI?

@prgeor what?

According https://github.com/sonic-net/SONiC/wiki/technical_faq#q-does-sonic-support-to-configure-interface-description it's not possible. However I dismissed this information because:

• it was written in 2019
• it suggests editing /etc/network/interfaces -- which to my knowledge would help only with routed interfaces
• show interfaces description does output an empty column with description
