Editing config files can lead to instability!!!

 

First question is : how many times in your guest configuration these vlan are referenced?

 

Did you configure virtual servers with vlan assignment?

 

If not, the easiest solution is:

 

  • create new vlans in host with fake ID but new names
  • assign these vlans to guests
  • move self ips to new vlan
  • in host, change old vlan ID to other fake ID
  • set the right vlan ID to new vlan
