Configuration style doesn't really matter. I am trying to figure out how to make tagged traffic talk in a bridge. I have always had good support from bsd people over the last 4 5 years since i started using it, maybe it's time to add something to it :) What gives me hope is that linux (cumulus linux, openswitch, ONL) are doing so, i dont see why BSD can't do it. I haven't searched much other bsd flavors though.
