What is cienaCesLogicalPortConfigPortDesc?

Unlike the location-oriented Name field, this is free text intended for operational context, commonly used by admins to record what circuit, customer, or service is riding on this port. Populating it well pays off the next time someone else has to figure out what will be impacted before touching the port. For example, a value like 'Customer ACME Corp - 100Mbps EVC to DC2' immediately tells whoever is planning maintenance which customer to notify.
