I would rather suggest

  ip link add esw0.10 link esw0 type vlan id 10
  ip addr add 10.93.1.2/24 brd + dev esw0.10
  ip link set esw0.10 up

How do you check? If with tcpdump, on which interface?

With older versions of libpcap, tcpdump wouldn't show VLAN tags if vlan
information was passed in metadata rather than as a tag in packet itself
(which is usually the case when outgoing/incoming device supports
hardware vlan tagging/stripping). Make sure this is not your case.
