Parameters
text
: Specifies the interface description, a string of 1 to 80 characters. The string can include
case-sensitive letters, digits, special characters (including ~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) - _ + = { } [ ] | \ : ; " '
< > , . /), spaces, and other Unicode characters and symbols.
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.
