Symbolic Name
The symbolic name is a user-defined name of up to 32 characters that identifies
the switch. The symbolic name is used in the topology and faceplate displays, as
well as many data windows to more easily identify switches. The illegal characters
are the pound sign (#), semi-colon (;), and comma (,).
