Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
fabric
    Choices:

The fabric configuration of the VLAN. This can be one of the following:
common - The VLAN applies to both fabrics and uses the same configuration parameters in both cases.

The VLAN IDs you specify must also be supported on the switch that you are using.
VLANs in the LAN cloud and FCoE VLANs in the SAN cloud must have different IDs.
