Trunk e Vlan

I have to configure two virtual switch using VLAN # 2 (vlan vlan 100 & 200).
I configured the fisical switch with the port in trunk mode and tagged vlan 100 & 200.
I've set up a first virtual switch with vlan ALL and then another switch with 2 Virtual vlan100 & vlan 100.
I want know if this configuration is correct or not ?

You don't necessarily need the 4095 VLAN on the one PortGroup.  The real question is what exactly are you trying to accomplish?  Do you need the Test PortGroup to be able to access all traffic regardless of it being tagged or not?

Yes you can remove it, better said I would recommend not using it as it is a possible security hole.
