OH, I see. I guess the want/need to avoid multiple bridges on those hardware
switches.

I think it is an interesting lesson, but the setup without vlan is much easier
inside our environment. I guess it is also easier to debug.

Maybe we move those VLAN setup into wiki-artikels, but remove them from
the main docu?

My impression is that lwt was there old setup, and they now
move on with frr?
