Yes, we added customVlans lately and defined 5 of them for now. The
current design prevented us from adding a flexible number of them
without intrusive changes to the code.
However, I might have a solution for you.

custom_getCorrectVlan's purpose is to return a VLAN id.
Using switches.conf customVlans is only a commodity to have different
VLAN ids share a unified meaning. In exemple: engineering in building A
is VLAN 100 and in building B is VLAN 200. But will be assigned by
customVlan1. Buildings are differentiated by switch at this point.
You seem to be relying on categories for assignment. Do you need per
switch per category VLANs? If not then you could replace
return $switch->{_customVlan7};
by
return 100;
Or, if you do need per switch per category VLAN assignation then as an
example:
if category = prod
if $switch->{_ip} =~ /192\.168\.(\d+)\.\d+/
return $1 . 20;
would return for a prod node the before last byte of the switch's IP +
20. ex: for a switch 192.168.22.10, VLAN 2220 would be returned.
The point is that the flexibility is there, it's just that you lose
convenience of a editing a configuration file over changing code.
Hopefully some of the above will help you ;)
Have a good one!
