I am new to ProxMox so excuse any stupid questions, to my understanding, a management interface is just a bridge with an IP address... correct? In that case, I have the bridge attached to a bond, and I want the bridge to be tagged so its traffic (including the management interface on top of it) are all tagged into one VLAN.

I've seen some results from searching the forum that used a networking file... is there a way to do this from GUI? If not whats the cleanest way to do it from the network file?

Thanks!

A management could be also an ethX interface or or bond interface. (with .X for vlan).
But if you need vms in the same vlan, you need a bridge. And an ip address can't be set directly on a interface if this interface is in a bridge.

something like

Code:
auto bond0
iface bond0 inet manual
         bond-slaves eth0 eth1
         ....

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
           address 192.168.0.10/24
           gateway 192.168.0.1
           bridge-ports bond0.X     # where X is your vlan number)           
           bridge-stp off
           bridge-fd 0


You can do it with gui too.

1) create a bond
2) create the bridge with the bond0.X as bridge-port
