Connecting VMs to the Network
VMs are connected to each other and the external network via a virtual switch running on the hypervisor.
Just like a regular physical switch, the vSwitch's interfaces can operate as access or trunk ports and use VLANs to separate the VMs at Layer 2.
Interfaces on the vSwitch connect to the physical NIC (or NICs) of the server to communicate with the external network.
