Native VLAN + tagged VLAN

I'm trying to convert over from a native vlan to a native vlan + tagged vlan and I can't seem to make it work. Right now my /etc/network/interfaces looks like this:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eno1
iface eno1 inet manual

auto eno2
iface eno2 inet manual

auto bond0
iface bond0 inet manual
bond-slaves eno1 eno2
bond-miimon 100
bond-mode 802.3ad
bond-xmit-hash-policy layer2+3

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
address 192.168.15.2/24
gateway 192.168.15.1
bridge-ports bond0
bridge-stp off
bridge-fd 0
bridge-vlan-aware yes
bridge-vids 2-4094

On the switch side, it's set to vlan15 (native vlan), and none of the instances have any vlan tags on them. When I move the LAG on the switch over to a port profile of "vlan15+tagged vlan 25" (unifi, if anyone is interested), I immediately lose access to PVE itself (192.168.15.2). My assumption was that I didn't need to tag the bond itself (looking over https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Network_Configuration) since vlan15 is still the native vlan and I could just tag the VM's that I wanted to use vlan25.

What am I missing here?
 
The native vlan is always untagged. So if you just added a tagged vlan to the port on the switch you don't have to change anything on the client (=Proxmox host) side.

So, I guess the problem is your switch. Not knowing Unify in detail, I would assume that the switch changes the PVID of the port as soon as you add a tagged vlan.
Untagged VLAN *and* PVID have to be 15, in that case.
 
Follow up - yea, it was a switch issue. Rather a firewall rule issue that wasn't allowing traffic between vlan25 and vlan15.

Measure twice, cut once !
