Information About VLANs
vEthernet interfaces that are assigned to specific VLANs are tagged with the VLAN when transmitted. A vEthernet interface that is not assigned to a specific VLAN, or assigned to VLAN 0, is transmitted as untagged on the physical NIC interfaces. When the VLAN is not specified, it is assumed to be 1.
