[atlas] Network configuration / Multiple VLANs

The guest network is WiFi based.

That's a bit presumptuous. Maybe the IPv6 VLAN is dedicated to this kind of external probes, and that we don't want to waste IPv4 by creating a dedicated one for the IPv4 counterpart when it can be put on an existing public range.

You don't have a "guest" VLAN for "here any visitor can plug in their laptop, and have internet-only (no internal services whatsoever) IPv4+IPv6 access"?
Just place the probe into that same VLAN, it can't be trusted as it communicates with an external server and unconditionally accepts firmware upgrades from it anyway.

Also having IPv4 and IPv6 in separate VLANs seems like a sign that whoever did the v6 deployment had little idea of wtf they are even doing. I wonder if many people have such a wretched configuration that it would warrant adding the whole VLAN option to the interface.
