Use this command to configure a description for the specified VR or VRF.
| vrf_name | Specifies the name of a user VR or a VRF. |
| string | Specifies a text string to describe the VR. If the text string contains space characters, the entire string must be enclosed with double quotes (" "). |
No description.
This command allows you to add comments about a VRF/VR entity. Entering a NULL string on the CLI will unconfigure the description string for the VRF/VR. If the description string has spaces in it, then the string must be enclosed within double quotes (" ").
This text message appears in the show virtual-router command display when the command specifies a VR name. For VPN VRFs, this message is returned for a mplsL3VPN MIB query of the MIB variable mplsL3VpnVrfDescription.
The following example configures a description for the VRF "corporate":
configure vr corporate description "VRF for the corporate intranet"
