This is a pretty common configuration for devices in a home lab or in a testing scenario. Software defined networking is a data center level operation, so I'll click here on my data center, scroll down and find the SDN section. We'll need to take a few steps to create a private NAT network. First we'll create a zone, which will create a network bridge that isn't connected to any of the nodes actual network hardware.
