        It's the fact you have two way traffic that is most confusing. It's relatively common to see something incorrectly stripping tags. Some misbehaving switch or hardware offloading on a NIC for example. But that would only ever expose an untagged host to traffic that should be on a VLAN. It would not re-tag it the other way.
        You could try running packet captures on the interfaces in question to see if that traffic is in fact tagged or untagged as expected.

            @johnnybinator Actually I was able to spin up a VM & everything now works as intended. I appreciate you sticking with me and helping to eliminate possibilities.

              huh.. Dude you can not leave us hanging like that ;) There has to be a actual reason, so before the vm was tagging the traffic that you didn't think it should be tagging?

                @johnpoz I guess I could put the switch back the way it was and see if that makes things go back to what was happening. This is at him and I'm working. Kind of a hectic week. When originally posted this, I thought someone was going to just say "yeah, just click here, etc..."

                  The change you made though was to remove the IPv6 IP from the switch?

                    @stephenw10 The change was ipv6 addres on vlan 11, which is where the switch's IPv4 is, instead of VLAN 1 which is where the IPv6 address assignment went when I put it in via the GUI, which doesn't give you a choice of interface.

                      So assigning it in the switch sing the CLI you were able to put it on VLAN11 and everything started working as expected? That's some interesting behaviour.

                        @stephenw10 Yes, exactly. These are not the highest-end switches I've ever worked with. I went for silence, remember?
