Command introduced before JUNOSe Release 7.1.0.
Release Information
Assigns a text description or an alias to a static IP interface or subinterface. If no IP
Description
interface currently exists, then a static IP interface is automatically created on the
current layer 2 interface and the description is applied to that static IP interface. You
cannot assign a profile to a layer 2 interface that has a static interface configured
above it. Use the show ip interface command to display the text description. The no
version removes the description or alias.
NOTE: This command is replacing the description command to assign a description
to a static IP interface. The description command may be removed completely from
Interface Configuration mode in a future release.
Options
