or

in the Topology Browser select a Virtual LANs component and then select the Configure icon.

The Virtual LANs VLAN Configuration Assistant for the VLAN Aliases and Colors dialog box is displayed as in Figure 4-6. For ATM-based VLANs the VLAN ID is the ELAN ID; for non ATM-based VLANs, the VLAN ID is the Work Group number.
