1-3 

text: Description of an Ethernet interface, a string of 1 to 80 characters. Currently, the device supports 

the following types of characters or symbols: standard English characters (numbers and case-sensitive 

letters), special English characters, spaces, and other characters or symbols that conform to the 

Unicode standard.  

 

z 

A port description can be the mixture of English characters and other Unicode characters. The 

mixed description cannot exceed the specified length.  

z 

To use a type of Unicode characters or symbols in a port description, you need to install the 

corresponding Input Method Editor (IME) and log in to the device through remote login software 

that supports this character type.  

z 

Each Unicode character or symbol (non-English characters) takes the space of two regular 

characters. 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. 

 

Use the description command to set the description string of the current interface. 

Use the undo description command to restore the default. 

By default, the description of an interface is the interface name followed by the “interface” string, 

Ethernet2/0/1 Interface for example. 

Related commands: display interface. 

# Configure the description string of interface Ethernet 2/0/1 as lanswitch-interface.
