[ietf86-tech] Vlan ID 999 allocated for guestroom dot1q-tunnel

[Bill Fenner]

The "media converter" switch is using dot1q-tunnel to get all of the guest
room vlans over to the switch.  I allocated VLAN 999 for this use.  It is
local to this switch, and its current connection to sw-core is an access
port, so this VLAN ID is, strictly speaking, only locally relevant.  Of
course, everything is much easier if VLAN IDs are globally unique anyway.

If we find the need, we could carry VLAN 999 over to sw-noc, then plug in a
vlan-test switch configured like the one Warren was using to play with, and
then pretend to be in any given guest's room by switching VLANs on access
ports on the switch.  (Except maybe 1001-1005.  :-)  I don't see any reason
to set this up in advance, but we should keep it in mind if we have a
really weird problem with a guest room.
