I try to use VLAN IDs that match up with the third octet of our IP space. For example: 205.153.180.0 is VLAN 180 10.205.150.0 is VLAN 150 10.99.99.0 is VLAN 99
I use superstitious numbers like 666 for testing or temporary VLANS. >From looking at your website I've gathered that you have locations all over the world. My advice from an old office in the armpit of Delaware may not be applicable.

We have 5 sites - all layer 3 routed between them so - except for transit VLANs - we figured we'd reuse the same VLAN IDs for the same purpose on each site. I don't foresee any issues with doing so. e.g management VLAN is 1000 on each site. 1002 is servers, 1004 is voice etc. Just wondered if maybe someone had done it but then later realised that actually it would have been better to make them unique across all sites - for easier documentation, or easier to use management tools for example. ?
