After the 'configure ports 1 : 1 display-string Alpha_Beta' 
command on an Alpine 3804 (ExtremWare 7.2) the cfgmaker
with the --ifref=name --ifdesc=alias options gives the
next output for that interface:

-------------------------------
### Interface 1001 >> Descr: 'Alpine3804/GM-16T3-Port-1:1' | Name: '1/1' |

As you see on the html page in the Description field you will
see the device/card-port label info.

With getif and if-mib you can see all the labels on the
.1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.18 path. The interface descriptions
Are available through .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2.

Is this what you wanted, or you want to see _only_ the label
in the description field?

Sorry for the late response,

Jozsef
