I can sympathize.

Some gear you add vlans to a port. Other gear you add ports to vlans.
Personally, I prefer the Cisco configuration syntax because if I want to
know which vlans a port is in, you look at the port config and there it
is.  Other gear you need to look through each vlan configuration and
note which vlans the port appears in and hope you don't overlook one.
