And let me tell you.. inheriting a network like that, knowing a better way
to do it, will make you want to put a gun in your mouth. Two /19's worth
of address space in VLAN1 (not just in one vlan, but in vlan *1*. Cisco
nerds are slapping foreheads or spitting Coke right now.)
Trying to migrate customers to their own vlan when they've been alloted
IPs, willy nilly, across one of the bajillion /24's secondaried on the
vlan interface drives me into an entire new dimension of pissed off.
Don't even get me started on allocation and traffic accounting.
