Nortel alsorecommends that you do not rename the default VLAN.You cannot use numbers in the VLAN name. Nortel recommends that you do not use the same name withdifferent capitalizations for VLANs. For example, do not configure two separate VLANs with the names redand RED.VLAN names are case-sensitive for RADIUS authorization when a client roams to a WSS. If the switch is notconfigured with the VLAN the client is on, but is configured with a VLAN that has the same spelling butdifferent capitalization, authorization for the client fails. For example, if the client is on VLAN red but theWSS to which the client roams has VLAN RED instead, RADIUS authorization fails.Examples The following command assigns the name marigold to VLAN 3:WSS# set vlan 3 name marigoldsuccess: change accepted.See Also set vlan port on page 80set vlan portAssigns one or more network ports to a VLAN.
