Description

Interface xn0 is not listed on "Interfaces: VLAN: Edit" for using as parent interface.

On XEN interface xn0 didn't have hardware based tagging. But tagging is possible:

https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=vlan

Other Ethernet interfaces can run VLANs using software emulation in the vlan driver.
