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 switch through remote login software that supports this 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 configure 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.

Vlan-interface 1 Interface.
You can configure a description to describe the function or connection of a VLAN or VLAN interface for
management sake.
