Description

Prior to ACS 4.3.0 CloudStack used to support tagged VLAN for management / storage / control traffic via traffic label, where admin would specify the VLAN in comma separated string of vmware network traffic label. E.g. vSwitch0,100 - This means management traffic would use standard vSwitch port group tagged with VLAN 100 which sits on vSwitch0 existing on ESXi host.

This is functionality was broken since below commit in ACS 4.3 branch,
Commit 7c4831df9292115466fb9e01fcba952a5dad31c1 in branch refs/heads/4.3 from Hugo Trippaers
[ https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=cloudstack.git;h=7c4831d ]

This commit overwrites the parsed vSwitch name, from traffic label, with traffic label specified by admin resulting into below error during deployment of SSVM (or any VM that needs management/storage traffic)
