4.3 VLAN Configuration Files
VLAN Configuration Files are Comma Separated Value (CSV) files containing VLAN definitions
and are used by the Import VLAN and Export VLAN functions.
The format of the VLAN Configuration File is as follows:
VLAN_Entry1_Name, VLAN_Entry1_Identifier, attribute1,
attribute2, etc.
VLAN_Entry2_Name, VLAN_Entry2_Identifier, attribute1,
attribute2, etc.
and so on...
The number and order of VLAN attributes, and their corresponding values, differ from one device
family to another. Refer to Section 6 - Device Support
