Use cases

A group of VLANs scoped to a site or functional boundary, enforcing unique VLAN IDs within the group.

VLANGROUP organises VLANs into logical groups, typically scoped to a site, building, or functional domain. Within a VLAN group, VLAN IDs must be unique (VLAN 100 can only exist once per group), but the same VLAN ID can be reused across different groups. The minVid/maxVid fields define the allowed VLAN ID range for this group (e.g., 100-999 for user VLANs, 1000-2000 for infrastructure). The site lookup scopes the group geographically. The related list shows all VLANs belonging to this group.
