Parameters
text: Specifies a description for a VLAN or VLAN interface. The string can include case-sensitive letters,
digits, special characters (including ~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) - _ + = { } [ ] | \ : ; " ' < > , . /), spaces, and
other Unicode characters and symbols.
For a VLAN, this is a string of 1 to 32 characters.
For a VLAN interface, this is a string of 1 to 80 characters.
NOTE:
Each Unicode character takes the space of two regular characters.
To use Unicode characters or symbols in an interface description, install the specific input method editor
and log in to the device through remote login software that supports the character type.
When the length of a description string reaches or exceeds the maximum line width on the terminal
software, the software starts a new line, possibly breaking a Unicode character into two and creatin
g
garbled characters at the end of a line.
Description
Use the description command to change the description of the VLAN or VLAN interface.
Use the undo description command to restore the default.
For a VLAN, the default description is the VLAN ID. For example, VLAN 0001.
For a VLAN interface, the default description is the name of the interface. For example,
Vlan-interface1 Interface.
You can configure a description to describe the function or connection of a VLAN or VLAN interface,
which is very helpful when a large number of VLANs are created on the device.
Examples
# Change the description of VLAN 2 to sales-private.
