Brocade recommends you use the operating system version for the description or use the
description from the chassis/entity MIB. Do not use special characters, such as #, $, !, @, as part of
the system name and description.
To specify a global system name and system description for the Brocade VDX hardware, perform
the following steps.
1. Issue the RPC to configure the node in the
urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-interface namespace.
2. Under the node, include the node element, which resides in the
urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-lldp namespace.

descriptive name for the DCB switch.
4. Under the node, include the leaf element, and set its value to a
text string that provides additional information about the DCB switch.
