I am having a issue when trying to configure my network adapter when a space is present in the network label.  
I am using vsphere\_guest module to accomplish this task . When I pass in VLAN 123 I get the below behavior. However, is there is no space(s) present everything works as expected  
Any suggestions.

“vm\_nic”: {  
“nic1”: {  
“network”: “VLAN”,  
“network\_type”: “standard”,  
“type”: “vmxnet3”  
}

Thank you.
