Parameters
text
: Specifies the interface description, a case-sensitive string of 1 to 80 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 a specific IME 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. This possibly breaks a Unicode character in half and might
result in garbled characters at the end of a line.
Examples
# Change the description of interface Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 to
lanswitch-interface
.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] interface ten-gigabitethernet 1/0/1
[Sysname-Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] description lanswitch-interface
