VMM 2012 R2 Networking Help

$

Hello,

I am thoroughly confused as to how to set this up, here is what I have done so far and what my goals are.  

I have two 2012 R2 hosts that are configured as an hyper-v Cluster, here is the networking:

I have 5 subnets/Adapters on the hosts that are native (no trunks, single subnet per adapter), for MGMT, VM Migration, CLUSTER HEARTBEAT, ISCSI-A, ISCSI-B.

Then I have an adapter that is assigned to a virtual switch, that has 2 vlans/subnets trunked (tagged with no native) that is only used for virtual machine traffic.  

I had to create the Hyper-V Cluster, then create two VMs, One SQL and One VMM and VMM is running as a Virtual Machine on the cluster.

I then imported the cluster into VMM.

If I look at the networking Properties of the two VMs that were created pre-VMM then I am able to specifiy a vlan on the adapter.  If I try and create a vm from within VMM, it only allows me to assign the adapter to the logical network that was created (which is the virtual switch name) but not specify the specific vlan that is trunked.  

I am both unsure as to how to properly define the networking within VMM so that I can create VM templates and assign adapters to either of the trunked vlans that are in the virtual switch and also worried that if I start trying without explicit instructions I will somehow mess up connectivity of my VMM server, causing me to basically have to start over again since VMM wouldn't be able to communicate.

I do not see any specific instructions on the web when you have imported existing hosts with existing virtual switches, only how to setup everything from scratch with what appears to be a separate physical VMM server.

If I try and define a vm network on top of the logical network (which is the virtual switch name) then there are confusing options about isolation, and a statement saying I can only provide direct access to one vm network per logical network.  I have 2 vlans within the logical network that need to be defined and not isolated to just within the hyper-v cluster, maybe I am reading that wrong but it sounds like a private isolated network that would not be able to access "outside" networks.

Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction, thank you for the assistance.
