I knew of instance variables, and class variables, but not class 
instance variables. It seems to do what I need, although the syntax will 
take some getting used to.

I originally had methods to modify these class variables, but I just 
tried using constants, and that worked. So I will probably create a 
subclass for every kind of VLAN encountered (which will then define the 
constant values for that particular subclass).
