VLAN Zone → Update

AI-generated

Overview

This node operation updates an existing VLAN Zone in the Hudu system. It allows users to modify properties of a VLAN Zone such as its archived status, associated company, description, name, and VLAN ID ranges. This operation is useful for managing network segmentation and organization within a company's infrastructure by keeping VLAN Zone details current and accurate.

Use Case Examples

  1. Updating the name and description of a VLAN Zone to reflect changes in network structure.
  2. Archiving a VLAN Zone that is no longer in use to keep the system clean.
  3. Changing the company association of a VLAN Zone when it is reassigned to a different business unit.

Properties

Name Meaning
VLAN Zone ID The unique identifier of the VLAN Zone to update, required to specify which VLAN Zone to modify.
Archived Boolean flag to archive (true) or activate (false) the VLAN Zone.
Company Name or ID The company to associate with the VLAN Zone, selectable by name or numeric ID from a list or via expression.
Description Optional textual description of the VLAN Zone.
Name Human-readable name for the VLAN Zone.
VLAN ID Ranges Comma-separated list of numeric VLAN ID ranges (e.g., "100-500,1000-1500") that define the VLAN Zone.

Output

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Hudu REST API.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the VLAN Zone ID provided exists; otherwise, the update will fail with a resource not found error.
  • Verify that the company ID or name is valid and accessible by the API user to avoid association errors.
  • Check that VLAN ID ranges are formatted correctly as comma-separated numeric ranges to prevent validation errors.
  • If the node throws an unknown resource error, confirm that the resource parameter is set to 'vlan_zones' and the operation to 'update'.
