Basic zones and security groups-enabled Advanced zones. For security groups-enabled Advanced
zones, it implies multiple subnets can be added to the same VLAN. With the addition of this
feature, you will be able to add IP address ranges from the same subnet or from a different one
- when IP address are exhausted. To support this feature, the capability of
+ when IP address are exhausted. This would in turn allows you to employ higher number of subnets
+ and thus reduce the address management overhead. To support this feature, the capability of
<code>createVlanIpRange</code> API is extended to add IP ranges also from a different
subnet.</para>
<para>Ensure that you manually configure the gateway of the new subnet before adding the IP range.

+ <para>In an Ethernet switch, a VLAN is a broadcast domain in which hosts can establish direct
+ communication with each another at Layer 2. Private VLAN is designed as an extension of VLAN
+ standard to add further segmentation of the logical broadcast domain. A regular VLAN is a
+ single broadcast domain, whereas a private VLAN partitions a larger VLAN broadcast domain into
+ smaller sub-domains. A sub-domain is represented by a pair of VLANs: a Primary VLAN and a
+ Secondary VLAN. The original VLAN that is being divided into smaller groups is called
+ Primary, That implies all VLAN pairs in a private VLAN share the same Primary VLAN. All the
+ secondary VLANs exist only inside the Primary. Each Secondary VLAN has a specific VLAN ID
+ associated to it, which differentiates one sub-domain from another.</para>
