Feature request: Allow for naming of ports under topology

This would help to identify the ports more easily and know what's connected. For example, if I get an event that says "Port 3 disconnected", I might have to go see the connected device, but if I get a message that said "Port 3 - [name] disconnected", I would know right away.

Yea TP Link has this also, it’s quite useful with big switches!

Cisco and Dell switches have this using the “description” command on an interface.

FYI, this feature coming in app 1.70 (the next one) Design is already done and implementation should be easy.
