Interface Descriptions

On some newer gear I've noticed these auto generated interface descriptions such as;

interface FastEthernet0/0

description $ETH-LAN$$ETH-SW-LAUNCH$$INTF-INFO-FE 0$

What are these and what are they used for? I'm assuming they're used with an NMS. Which one and how are they used? I can't seem to find any information related to this. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Mike

These are entirely optional. Not sure what NMS would

add them though. You can configure them yourself, or

rmove them.
