             Summary: Multiple VLAN range API need to accept a list rather than "add" or "remove" per command
                 Key: CLOUDSTACK-3753
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-3753
             Project: CloudStack
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Anyone can view this level - this is the default.)
          Components: Network Controller
    Affects Versions: 4.2.0
            Reporter: Sheng Yang
            Priority: Blocker
             Fix For: 4.2.0

"vlan parameter will add a new vlan range to the existing vlan range (new behavior). if the new vlan range overlaps the existing vlan range it will extend that vlan (This is the existing behavior.).
removevlan parameter will remove the mentioned vlan. The removevlan and vlan parameters can be used together. If the vlan range we are trying to remove is in use, the operation will not succeed."

I haven't seen such API in the CloudStack. It's much more clean to use a list here(even for ranges, can be extended from one element, like "1-2, 4-5, 6-7"), rather than newly defined "vlan"/"removevlan" behavior. It broke API compatibility(e.g. the previous API potentially able to change vlan directly, rather than add it), and is also user unfriendly.
