Successful VLAN Implementation in between OPNSense and vDS ?

Hi,
I'm running a Nested Environment, and would like to know if anyone been able to successfully implement VLANs in OPNSense with Virtual Distributed Switch, where both OPNSense, vCenter, and ESXi are all running as VM's on a physical host.
If yes, can I know how to configure it, or is there a guide to follow specifically for OPNSense.
Thank You

Yes, but without VLAN's defined on OPNsense. It's much easier to present vNIC's in the relevant distributed port groups instead.
My ESXi hosts are physical though.

Sorry I failed to understand.
You mean NOT to create sub-interfaces in OPNSense but rather just add VLAN IDs on PortGroups ?

Yes, that's right. If your OPNsense is a VMware guest, there is no point trunking VLAN's to it. Let vSphere take care of it.
