VLANide
VLANide is a software framework and toolset designed to simplify the management of virtual local area networks (VLANs) by providing an integrated development environment for network engineers. It combines traditional VLAN configuration with development‑style workflows, enabling template‑based design, validation, and automated deployment of VLAN policies across multi‑vendor networks.
Key capabilities include centralized policy creation, version‑controlled VLAN templates, simulated lab testing, automatic conflict detection, and
Architecture comprises a core engine that coordinates templates and policies, a repository for version control, and
Typical use cases include large campuses, data centers, and service provider networks seeking repeatable VLAN provisioning,
Limitations and considerations include dependency on hardware programmability and correct device support, the potential for misconfiguration
Related topics include VLAN standards (IEEE 802.1Q), network virtualization, SDN, and network automation.
