Unable to commision/deploy(/enlist) when having a tagged only network setup

[Fairbanks.]

Hello there,

Trying to deploy/commision/enlist etc... using a tagged only network is impossible with MAAS.
In a network environment where we only have tagged vlan networks i am unable to use MAAS.

I can configure the bare-metal systems to pxe-boot from this specific vlan, that all seems to go nicely, until the booted image tries to do a DHCP request. This does it using no vlan at all, ant thus fails. It would be nice if it was possible to use a PXE VLAN setting or something so that the DHCP Request uses a vlan instead of always an untagged network!

I know this maybe is a corner case, but it is a valid option, also since lots of modern hardware of Dell and HP allow to configure a VLAN for PXE Boot.

At the moment, it is not possible to run ephemeral environments with custom network configuration. Effectively, you can't run commissiong or any other epemeral environment that requires you to tag an network interface to access the network.

I'll mark this as a wishlist, but it is not currently part of our plans.
