Without meaning to play down your quest for a reference, converting from Guest LAN to VSWITCH should only require using a different router than you did before. With VSWITCH, your guests are "bridged" to a physical ethernet, where they can "hit" the same router as VM, MVS, and other discrete systems. So your addressing will change (obviously) and the router will therefore also change.
