4000 VLANs?! That's more than enough for me :D
Yes, this would be deployed under 2.0 anyway. Given the current good stability of 2.0, I think the extra features added (that we need) outweigh the risk. Nonetheless we have a box in testing set up yesterday. Hasn't skipped a beat yet!
And provided that the ports on the switch (or bridge ports in my case as this is a Xen setup) that connect to the servers are not VLAN aware and have a PVID of the respective VLAN they are supposed to be on, does that provide a secure solution?
I've read a lot of nasty things regarding VLANs, however they seem to be used everywhere. For exmaple, most colocation providers use VLANs for their customers.
Thanks
