-Other relevant notes/hints:
+The following settings are also mandatory:
-  * One VID must be assigned to WAN.

   * One VID must be selected as the default.
-  * To prevent 802.1Q compatibility issues, avoid using VID "0" as 802.1Q specifies that frames with a tag of "0" do not belong to any VLAN (the tag contains only user priority information).
