This read-create string sets the name a VLAN would have once the pending edit buffer is applied, and that same name is also used as the ELAN name for any ATM LAN Emulation segment tied to that VLAN. An administrator sets this while staging a new or renamed VLAN, keeping in mind that this name may also surface in ATM LANE configurations if applicable. For example, staging a new VLAN named ENGINEERING via vtpVlanEditName ensures that name appears both in the switch's VLAN table and in any associated ATM LANE segment once applied.
