Proper way to map ESXi network configs to Proxmox

Hi,
I just installed my first Proxmox VE on a server as part of evaluating it as the VMware replacement. In my current ESXis, I have a 10 gbps link to the network switch and the link has 8 port groups - each configured with a different VLAN. The ESXi's management interface is on another vlan (say vlan 100). No VM is on the ESXi management vlan. After I've installed Proxmox, it created a bridge with the ESXi management IP on vlan 100. How do I properly configure Proxmox so I have the same configs just like ESXi's port groups with each group tagged with different vlan? I see I can make the bridge "vlan aware" which I did. Some suggests tag in each VM which does look secure to me (VM owner can change VM's IP and tag to a vlan the VM is not supposed to access). Is there a way to do what ESXi does, i.e., similar to port group per vlan so vlan tagging is controlled by the hypervisor?

Thanks.
