How to enable Virtual Guest Tagging(VGT) in ESXi 6.5
Looking at the ESXi 6.5 http GUI the same selections are not available. Basically I want to set up a portgroup on the vSwitch0 to be of type VGT so that the guest VM get’s to handle the VLAN tagging itself.
The guest VM in this case is CoreOS in which I run docker, different docker networks are set up using macvlan (thereby creating sub interfaces with vlan specified in CoreOS).
Is these settings not available via the 6.5 web gui? Do I have to install vCenter Server?

See section 2 (Setting Up Networking with vSphere Standard Switches): https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/6.5/vsphere-esxi-vcenter-server-65-networking-guide.pdf
Create a port group with VLAN 4095, which allows all VLANs.
Then, inside of your guest, configure the VLANs you need.
