Network Atlas - Port Description Variable

Hi Forum!,

If this has been asked before please could you point me in the right direction, but i couldn't find anything that answered my query.

What i am trying to do is on a Atlas Map, i want to add a cisco switch port object and in the label ideally i would like to add the port number and description, and if that description changed on the switch, i would like that to reflect in the network map.

For example

Node Picture (ie. Green circle if active) - Fa1/1 Portdescription (description referenced in the CLI of the Cisco switch.

Is this possible?

Admittedly I haven't played with this much and namely I'm not sure (but would guess) that it will update, but you should be able to do this already.

In Network Atlas if you find your node and expand it, you should be able to see the interfaces there. We use port descriptions and it had the information I expected, we just map everything to the node level.

Hope that helps.
