+The vlan expression is used to match on the vlan header fields.
+This expression will not work in the *ip*, *ip6* and *inet* families,
+unless the vlan interface is configured with the *reorder_hdr off* setting.
+The default is *reorder_hdr on* which will automatically remove the vlan tag
+from the packet. See ip-link(8) for more information.
+For these families its easier to match the vlan interface name
+instead, using the *meta iif* or *meta iifname* expression.
