VLAN subnet instead of VLAN ID

Hi all,

Am I mistaking or is the only way that I can add a VM to a VLAN is by designating the VLAN ID, in the VM configuration when the switch is in a trunk?

Is is somehow possible to do this by selecting a VLAN Subnet?

If I have a hundred subnets isn't it easier to remember in what subnet a VM is like 10.1.1.0 instead of remembering the VLANID 700? This is posible in vmware.

Thanks
