The object name of a VLAN object is the same as the objectFullName of the SAM-O object vlan.Vlan (the VLAN service). The following is an example:

The following is an example:

svc-mgr:service-369

The DisplayName is set to VLAN-<vlanId>. If the VLAN is related to a VPLS, the DisplayName is set as VLAN-<vlanId>/VPLS-<vplsId> For example:

VLAN-<vlanId>/VPLS-<vplsId>

After this relationship is determined, the Adapter creates a LayeredOver/Underlying relationship between the VLAN and the VPLS site (Forwarder) in the MPLS Manager. this allows the MPLS Manager to perform VLAN impact analysisd.
