Note: Enterasys Networks recommends that you do not use the name default. This name is already
used for VLAN 1. Enterasys Networks also recommends that you do not rename the default VLAN.
Note: MSS does not remove a port from other VLANs when you add the port to a new VLAN. If a
new VLAN causes a configuration conflict with an older VLAN, remove the port from the older VLAN
before adding the port to the new VLAN.
