    For 99% of them it doesn’t matter because it just goes to a port on the office (sorry, open space) floor. Some of those others on the right may matter if they’re going to different devices but there’s much less and you can just rerun a cable from a device probably a rack or two over.

    Don’t get me wrong, this would suck, but it wouldn’t be more than a day of work.

        Yes but you’re gonna have large chunks that are the same since people tend to sit in groups and ports tend to be grouped together. So you may have 3 groups rather than 1. And if you’re correctly using 802.1x it doesn’t matter as the vlans are dynamically assigned during authentication. If you’re not mature enough to be doing that you probably have a more flat layout with larger groups. Highly doubt it’d be dozens of vlans per area.
