2. Create new network names for the associated networks (VLANs). To be renamed, all networks must
share a common part of the naming convention. For example, if the original network names end in –A,
you can replace that portion of the name with –B for the copied networks.
a. Select an option in the Replace pull-down menu:
— all—Replaces all instances of the search string with the replacement string
— first—Replaces the first instance of the search string with the replacement string
— last—Replaces the last instance of the search string with the replacement string
b. Enter the search string in the first text box.
c. Enter the replacement string in the second text box.
d. Compare the side-by-side scrolling lists of associated networks to be sure that each network is
renamed properly.
Notes:
o The search string and the replacement string can be different lengths.
o The search string must be found in all associated network names.
o The replacement string can be empty.
o The new associated network names cannot be duplicates of existing network names, and the names
must follow the normal network name rules.
o You cannot edit the associated network names individually on this screen. After the associated
networks are created, you can rename the networks as normal.
Examples:
Associated network name
before Associated network name
after Replacement scheme
vendorSUS-vlan-1-A

Note: If you select all, the A in BANK would be
replaced with a B, resulting in
BBNK_SUS_B-10. Similarly, if you select first,
only the A in BANK would be replaced with a
B, resulting in BBNK_SUS_A-10.
