Hello Lucas,

You mad a little mistake.
You have to create A New Tagged Vlan for each subnet.
So I preconised you to set a subjective name:

So First create 4 Vlan on you interface 1.7:
vlan_4095 tagged with vlan 4095
vlan_10 tagged with vlan 10
vlan_20 tagged with vlan 20
vlan_30 tagged with vlan 30

Then create each self IP on the right VLAN.
Don't forget to spread all VLAN on your ESX to VE interface.

Regards
