Parameters
text: Specifies a description for a VLAN or VLAN interface. The string can include case-sensitive letters,
digits, special characters such as tilde (~), exclamation point (!), at sign (@), pound sign (#), dollar sign
($), percent sign (%), caret (^), ampersand sign (&), asterisk (*), left brace({), right brace (}), left
parenthesis ((), right parenthesis ()), left bracket ([), right bracket (]), left angle bracket (<), right angle
bracket (>), hyphen (-), underscore(_), plus sign (+), equal sign (=), vertical bar (|), back slash (\), colon
(:), semi-colon (;) quotation marks ("), apostrophe ('), comma (,), dot (.), and slash (/), 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. As a result,
garbled characters may be displayed at the end of a line.
Description
Use description to change the description of the VLAN or VLAN interface.
Use undo description 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-interface 1 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.
