Dear Catalyst Switching BU,
I know there is limited space on the front panel, But on the 9200/9300's, could you please, please, please Silk-screen the Port Number on all ports. The collective amount of time wasted by our Field staff trying to figure out which interface is which and having to count up/down from the reference number is high.
The amount of patching mistakes we see due to miscounting is costing us real money and time. Get someone with a stopwatch and compare the time in a blind-test to see quickly and accurately it takes someone to patch in non-labelled vs. labeled interfaces.
A good example would be some of the Nexus 9k Switches which move the triangles closer together and have all interfaces numbered.
Regards,
Jason.

Reach out to the Cisco Account Manager or R&S SE/PSS and have an enhancement request raised.

Thanks for the reply Leo, posted here to get Community Feedback to see if others are seeing the same issue. I guess if I get enough support here, I'll forward this to my Account Team.
