VLANs that share a common name.
The name is comprised of the prefix, VLAN ID, and suffix. An example name is provided after the VLAN
IDs are specified.

text-based identifiers for the network within VCM. Each label can contain up to 24 characters,
excluding spaces. Each network can have up to 16 labels.

VLAN.
