Users perform manual Day-1 operations to configure network elements repeatedly for the purpose on on-boarding new workloads. One common category of Day-1 configuration activity is performing routine VLAN related operations:

• Check if VLAN exists
• Change names and descriptions of VLANs
• Configure a VLAN

It would be beneficial to automate this repetitive configuration with a goal of reducing time and effort needed to complete the configurations, while reducing the probability of errors.

Today networks are in high demand and change constantly due to proliferation of customer demands. Network engineers need the ability to automate their network in a simple and manageable way. One of the most frequent network changes is creation and removal of VLANs where network engineers are accommodating dynamic customer demands.
