@maxpao The Rancher network is a private IPsec based network that runs over the hosts L3 network. This means that Ranchers network is basically not able to run on a raw VLAN with a tag. It can run as an overlay in a tagged VLAN. For that to happen you just need regular VLAN tagging from the host perspective.
