Virtual Switch
I have a windows host that is running 2 lubuntu VM's. I want to test some HA concepts but I need a way to link each VM to a switch.
I'm using Virtualbox to run the lubuntu's. Is there a way to connect the virtual nics to a virtual switch?
If not, suggestions are very welcome.

In a sense they already are in a virtual router. VM's attach to the host with a virtual router. (switch)
One of the modes for VM's is local only if you only want to go between the two. Nat would work if you want to go to host or beyond.
