Parameter
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.
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 switch 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.
Example
# Change the description of interface GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 to lanswitch-interface.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1
[Sysname-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] description lanswitch-interface
