Yes, because there are only 5 customVlan attributes. It's not a dynamic
field, it's a static field.

Scattered changes in pf::SwitchFactory and pf::SNMP would be required.

If the VLAN you want to return is the same campus-wide (ie customVlan4
is _always_ VLAN ID 100) then instead of using:
return $switch->getVlanByName('customVlanX');
you can directly return the VLAN id:
return 100;
Does that free enough customVlanX for you so that you are fine with 5?
We have plans to migrate the switch configuration to the database and
have a more flexible custom VLAN assignment configuration. Nothing short
term though, we're busy with a Web-based installer and Web Admin revamp
right now.
