• For a VLAN, this is a string of 1 to 32 characters.
• For a VLAN-interface, this is a string of 1 to 240 characters.
When you specify a description, follow these guidelines:
• 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
creating garbled characters at the end of a line.
Usage guidelines
Configure a description to describe the function or connection of a VLAN or VLAN-interface for easy
management.
