text: Description of a VLAN or VLAN interface. 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 For a VLAN, the description string contains 1 to 32 characters.
z For a VLAN interface, the description string contains 1 to 80 characters.
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 parts. As a result, garbled characters may be displayed at the end of a line.
