One of projects many face can be IP change and here is example of setting a Linux box that's on more then one VLAN, so if you lose connection while changing IP of a device, you can easily access that device over different VLAN. Note here that VLAN ID stays same but subnet is changing and there are 2 VLANs in this example. And Linux box is Linux Mint.
