Does it make them harder to differentiate? I suppose it depends how often we see the name without the description.\n\nAn alternative solution would be to allow setting a maximum name length, then truncating the name.","commit_id":"dc306332c0ea9658ff0181237d88e44a06ec63fa"},{"author":{"_account_id":34936,"name":"Baptiste Jonglez","email":"baptiste.jonglez@inria.fr","username":"bjonglez"},"change_message_id":"f87b37e92f99bdcf94dab1501fa3e824b6e64e9e","unresolved":false,"context_lines":[],"source_content_type":"","patch_set":1,"id":"14f6fc02_0ff0ab9e","in_reply_to":"89af0fc5_5c45d7ee","updated":"2022-06-21 12:34:37.000000000","message":"Good question, thanks. Usability is fine: even \"show vlan\" displays the VLAN description instead of the VLAN name. To be honest, I haven\u0027t found a single place in the CLI where VLAN names are used or displayed. And having empty VLAN names seems to work just fine.\n\nAllowing names to be truncated could indeed be a more general solution. But for this specific case, it would require the administrator to first be aware of the issue, and then configure \"ngs_network_name_format\" as well as this hypothetical new \"max length\" setting.\n\nThe patch being discussed is much simpler and solves the problem for OS9 devices without needing any specific setting.","commit_id":"dc306332c0ea9658ff0181237d88e44a06ec63fa"}]}
