VLAN in VMWare Workstation on Windows 10 - is it possible?

Good afternoon!

There are 3 PCs with Windows 10, 2 of which have 2 network cards, the 3rd has 3 network cards (Realtek PCI GBE Adapter). Each PC has VMware Workstation 14.1 installed. On each PC, one of the network cards is included in the switch, which is connected to the provider's router. The second network card on the PC is connected to one of the network cards of the 3rd PC with 3 network cards (so-called internal network). On all network cards that are connected to the internal network, the IPv4 and IPv6 protocols are disabled in the adapter properties (virtual machines from VMware Workstation are connected to these adapters in bridge mode). On each PC, a virtual VyOS router is deployed in VMware, one port of which is connected in bridge mode to a network card in the internal network.

Problem: if VLANs are not assigned to the VyOS port, then all routers see each other without problems. If you assign a VLAN, the connection is lost. What could be the problem? I tried to google, I did not find a specific answer, these network card models, it seems, should transmit frames, incl. with VLANs, no problem ...
PS In the properties of all adapters that look into the internal network, in the "Advanced" tab, the "Priority & VLAN" option is completely disabled
PPS For a better understanding of this "design" I can throw a diagram and attach it here )))

Dump traffic from Realtek PCI GBE Adapter using wireshark on any computer with vlans. For example, turn on the wireshark on the first PC and at the same time from PC 3 (from the virtual router) start a ping to 10.0.100.1. If the packets come tagged, then the network card with vlans is working normally, if not, then it cuts off the tags or maybe even discards them. If there is no tagged traffic, then download the realtek diagnostic utility, where you can play with vlans
