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.
