Editing a VLAN name

{: #edit-vlan-name} {: help} {: support}

Each VLAN has a fully qualified name to help identify it. You also can add a custom name and edit it at any time. {: shortdesc}

VLAN names are displayed on the VLANs page and also when you view an individual VLAN. It is recommended that you use a naming convention for your VLANs, so they can be identified easily by all users on the account.

You can update the VLAN name from the VLANs page or from the VLAN Details page. Your changes are visible in all locations for the VLAN, regardless of which option you use.

For either option, follow these steps first to go to the VLANs page.

  1. From your browser, open the {{site.data.keyword.cloud_notm}} console{: external} and log in to your account.
  2. From the console, click the Navigation Menu icon Navigation Menu icon and select Infrastructure > Classic Infrastructure.
  3. Select Network > IP Management > VLANs.

To add or edit a VLAN name from the VLANs page:

  1. Click the Actions menu Actions menu for the VLAN you want to edit and select Rename.

  2. Add a new name or edit an existing name.

  3. Click Update to save the name.

    A name can have a maximum of 20 characters. {: note}

To edit a name from the VLAN Details page:

  1. Click the fully qualified name of a VLAN to view its details.
  2. Click Edit in the upper right corner of the Details section.
  3. Add a new name or edit an existing name.
  4. Click Save to save the name.
