Nope. By design we don't give the ability to set things like this in the UI, since it promotes poor management practices (not bothering to set port descriptions on the devices themselves).

If you have a device which doesn't have settable port descriptions, i'd bet it fits into one of these two possibilities:

a) it's a $50 device, and you shouldn't be using it in a scenario where you'd want to label ports

b) it's a device with 3 ports, so labelling isn't important enough to compromise other design criteria

Does anyone know if there is a way to apply a friendly name to ports? It does not appear possible in the Community Edition front end, however, is it possible to do this via the database?

Thanks,
