Doing it that way would force you to change all of your switches and hosts that 
know about vlan 100 at once.  You might also add native (untagged) vlan 1 to the 
existing tagged vlans - then you can set up a pxe-booting network on vlan 1 and 
once things are installed you can add the tagged vlan interfaces and optionally 
remove the IP address from the untagged (base eth device) interface.
