I have 2 * WS-C3650-48TS switches running 16.6.3
When I add Port Descriptions from the web GUI (Configuration -> Physical Interfaces) it appears to save them, but then after a time (I'm not sure exactly how long, but lets say a few days) they disappear. The switch didn't reboot in this time.
Any ideas?

Hello,
can you check using a telnet/SSH session ?
the command is
show interface description
the first lines of show run tells last time configuration has changed and last time configuration has been saved.
This is to understand if the issue is real or it is only in the Web GUI that you are using.
If the switch didn't reload it should keep the configured descriptions even if the configuration is not saved.
Hope to help

Hi Giuseppe,
Thanks for the reply. I ran the command and could see the interface descriptions which I just added.
It didn't show me the last time configuration has changed and last time configuration has been saved though - do I need to run another command to see this?
Maybe I should try adding descriptions from the CLI and saving.. I'll search for the commands and give that a try.

Hello Fred,
to configure a description from IOS CLI you need
config t
interface type x/y/z
description MY DESCRIPTION HERE
example:
interface gi0/1
description INTERFACE To server BDM11 10.120.11.22
exit
wr mem
or
copy running-config startup-config
to save configuration from CLi
Edit:
if you issue show running-config it will show you last time config has been changed and last time config has been saved
Hope to help
Giuseppe
