To mark required fields, below is the best practice.
If there are 20 fields in a form and 10 of them are required, user read
all the text to get all required fields.
I am trying to understand user's mental model and the concept model we
should present.
vlan id is not an attr of network, it is an attr of the vlan which is
created on top of network.
To express that "create a vlan with an id of xxxx", I prefer wang wen's
original design.
