Hi,
if you intend to set-up a VLAN topology, then your switch must indeed 
know how to deal correctly packets which contains Vlan ID.
You have two options
- First get a net. switch that supports 'trunk' mode (meaning all the 
tagged packets are allowed)
- Second, get an unmanaged switch (make sure though that tagged packets 
pass. I know it sounds odd, but I had a TPLink 48 ports switch 
unmanaged, meaning a L2 switch that was blocking the packets...crazy)
- Third, get a managed switch, and configure a range of vlans on that 
switch, and use the same range for your Neutron setup
