Support the vlan tag for cloudstack management network range

[kiranchavala]

The required feature described as a wish

As a User/Admin/Operator I would like to have a vlan tag for the management network.

Steps to reproduce the isssue

1. Configure a management range with a vlan tag

2. The System VMs are unable to reach the internet if the vlan is tagged

Previously related discussion issue where user reported the issue

#12521

The following issue and pr supported tagged vlan storage ip range

#7816
#11245

The workaround for this issue is

1 - create vlan interface on hypervisor
2 - create bridge called "mgmtbr0" or similar and add said vlan interface to it
3 - in CloudStack use "mgmtbr0" as traffic label for the Management

Actually, the workaround is the only correct way of doing it, and other approaches do not seem applicable, due to the way ACS works and the requirement for SSVMs and CPVM to have a NIC in the PODs network. I would suggest dismissing this issue, as, IMO, it does not lead to a working solution.

We can close the issue if its not feasible to do it

I think it will be practically difficult to do it, if cloudstack can allow hosts and SystemVMs in the pod to be in a different VLAN, then this could help. Hosts will still be tagged on the host level. CloudStack expects the host to be already configured with its management network/VLAN so that it can manage it.

maybe when we find a good solution, for now the workaround is it...
