      <description>&lt;P&gt;Well setting it to 0 is means you are not using any VLANs, setting it to All(4095) means that you plan a VLAN between those 4095.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;If you are not tagging any VLAN in a portgroup it is pointless to use that option.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Hi,&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;I don't entirely agree with this, setting in ESXi "0" as VLAN ID means "untagged" ethernet frame which is not the same as saying no VLANs are used in the context of a network infrastructure. What the OP asked is how to pass traffic corresponding to all possible VLANs to a virtual machine without the latter having to know how to handle them: I don't want the "thing-related-that-would-apply-here" messing with the traffic.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Regards,&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Ferdinando&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;a href="https://communities.vmware.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1011130"&gt;@Kinnison&lt;/a&gt;, I agree, and it was a misleading phrase. Because you still can use aLAN untagged.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;As I said in the second paragraph, if it is not tagged, there is no use for All VLANs&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;No issue, but this is more precise.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
