Symbolic Name

The symbolic name is a user-defined name of up to 32 characters that identifies the switch. The symbolic name is used in the topology and faceplate displays, as well as many data windows to more easily identify switches. The illegal characters are the pound sign (#), semi-colon (;), and comma (,).
