The router shouldn't have IP addresses on every VLAN, but I understand
this is part of the normal vlan concept.

Let me describe our setup. We have wifi-phones as wireless clients with
fixed ip addresses and actually we need the roaming feature of hostap.
While the 802.11r function in hostap doesn't work as expected, our
intention was a possible workaround with vlans in all routers.

When a phone changes the wifi-cell the connection must switch seamless
to the next router.
Prospective we want to use up to 20 phones in a network with 150 or more
routers in 1 subnet.
(all routers are wired)

Normally this would simply work be bridging lan/wifi - but not when
phones are only talking UDP.
So we use vlan to have a constant data flow, even when one handset moves
to another router/cell.
(we have tested this behavior with other routers to be working)

kind regards,
Stephan
