Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

If multiple VLANs are configured on a device to transmit different services, you can run the name command in a VLAN view to configure a VLAN name to facilitate service management. In addition, you can check the deployed services of a VLAN by the VLAN name.

After a VLAN is named, you can run the vlan vlan-name command in the system view to enter the VLAN view and check or modify the VLAN configuration.

Example

# Configure voice as the name of VLAN 2 used to transmit voice services.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[~HUAWEI] vlan 2
[*HUAWEI-vlan2] name voice
