The default description for a VLAN is the VLAN ID. For example, VLAN 0001.
The default description for a VLAN interface is the name of the interface. For example, Vlan-
interface 1 Interface.
You can configure a description to describe the function or connection of a VLAN or VLAN interface for
easy management.

Parameters
text: Describes a VLAN or VLAN interface. The string can include case-sensitive letters, digits, special
characters (including ~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) - _ + = { } [ ] | \ : ; " ' < > , . /), spaces, and other Unicode
characters and symbols:
For a VLAN, this is a string of 1 to 32 characters.
For a VLAN interface, this is a string of 1 to 80 characters.
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 device 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.
