The /vlans/vlan/config/name value is a free format string and allows duplicate names to be created.
Duplicate VLANs are created without error. Which VLAN the system uses is not predictable.
Creating a VLAN using a name that already exists (encountered at the /vlans/vlan/config/name endpoint).
Ensure VLAN names are unique.
VLAN names now have the following constraints: - May start with an alphabetic character (Aa-Zz). - Cannot exceed 56 characters in length. - May contain alpha-numeric characters, periods (.), hyphens (-), and underscores (_). - Must be unique among VLANs. !Important! Before upgrading: -- Ensure that all VLAN names meet these constraints. -- Update any scripts that create VLANs whose names violate these constraints.

Important upgrade information: Before upgrading: -- Ensure that all VLAN names meet these constraints. -- Update any scripts that create VLANs whose names violate these constraints. -- Configurations from previous versions containing /vlans/vlan/config/name strings that do not meet the new validation rules will fail to load after upgrade. -- Configuration scripts with /vlans/vlan/config/name strings that do not meet the new validation rules will fail after upgrade.
