Below your endpoint is a VLAN entry which is a list of the VLANs. For each entry in the list, you will see
the element id (in this case, the VLAN id), a state container and a config container.
The Openconfig data model is very consistent, which means that once you understand it, you can easily
access any data: it always follows the same pattern.
To create a VLAN, manipulate the config container following the same structure. To delete a VLAN,
simply point to the endpoint.
