Absolutely, but mainly when you refer to specific naming. Using the method
Mr. Cameron detailed below, a VLAN #37 will be created with the name
VLAN0037. Not a very descriptive name at all. That's why one would use the
global config or Vlan Database...so they can type in:
vlan 37 name Marketing_Vlan (lame example). Now ya know right away what vlan
37 is being used for!
