@alexandremattioli can you check and close the bug if it was env issue, or provide details/steps on how to reproduce it? Thanks

Seems like that ID is out of range @alexandremattioli according to https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2075351

[Spaceman1984]

I tested according to your steps and I get the error, but I believe this is a limitation not on Cloudstack.

@Spaceman1984 can you discuss with @alexandremattioli and @PaulAngus and change the tags to new-feature if this is a CloudStack limitations (known/unknown?).

[Spaceman1984]

I propose we move this to 4.16 and to make this a small new feature.

If you are using a dvSwitch and want to do VLAN trunking, a second range parameter is required. In the UI we will need a checkbox and a start and end ID.

Otherwise, a temporary and imperfect fix would be to just trunk all ids if 4095 is sent.

Would you guys agree? @alexandremattioli @PaulAngus

Let's move to 4.16, this is not blocker/critical unless we hear from reporters
