Figure 269 Naming the VLAN

When choosing which name to use, 3Com Network Director gives preference to Layer 3 switches and switches with the most VLANs configured. This is likely to result in 3Com Network Director choosing the name configured on the most core switch in the VLAN. If a VLAN has not been configured with the same name on all switches, there will be an entry in the Misconfigurations and Optimizations report warning the user of this fact. See “Inconsistent VLAN naming” on page 535. This Misconfigurations and Optimizations report entry will also inform the user of the name that 3Com Network Director has selected to use to refer to the VLAN in the rest of the application.
