Description
Optionally create an alias for a member switch in a Virtual Chassis or Virtual Chassis Fabric (VCF). You can more clearly identify the member switches in your Virtual Chassis or VCF by assigning text labels (alias names) to them, associating the alias name with member switch serial numbers. Aliases are for administrative purposes only and have no effect on member switch operations.
The show virtual-chassis command displays assigned
alias names in the Alias-Name output field.

then you’ll see the alias dc-floor-1 in the Alias-Name column in the output from the show virtual-chassis command:
show virtual-chassis
user@switch> show virtual-chassis
