Usage
Information Important Points to Remember:
To use special characters as a part of the description string, you must enclose
the whole string in double quotes.
Spaces between characters are not preserved after entering this command
unless you enclose the entire description in quotation marks (desc_text).
Entering a text string after the description command overwrites any previous
text string that you previously configured as the description.
The shutdown and description commands are the only commands that you
can configure on an interface that is a member of a port-channel.
Use the show interfaces description command to display descriptions
configured for each interface.
