[f-nsp] CER - Creating VLANs via SNMP - cant set name?

[Tom Storey]

Hi Jörg,

Much appreciated! I am back in business with this OID. I still cant seem to
create and set the VLAN name in one operation, but with this OID I can
create and then set its name afterwards in a two step operation which is
fine.

Maybe I can if I play around using only OIDs from this MIB some more...

Tom
