Overview

This node operation creates a named VLAN group in Aruba Central Next Gen, allowing users to define VLANs either by specifying individual VLAN ID ranges or by referencing an existing VLAN alias. It is useful for network administrators who want to organize VLANs into named groups for easier management and configuration within the Aruba Central environment.

Use Case Examples

  1. Creating a named VLAN group with specific VLAN ID ranges such as 10, 20-30, and 40 for network segmentation.
  2. Creating a named VLAN group by referencing an existing VLAN alias to reuse predefined VLAN configurations.
