Understanding Hyper-V Virtual Networks - Part 2 - Private VNs

Let's talk a little bit about Private Virtual Networks in Hyper-V

Private virtual Networks are the easiest VNs to understand. A Private VN can be used to offer communication between Virtual Machines within the same Host. In other words, a VM connected to a private VN, can only communicate with VMs connected to that VN. (Using the Private VN)

Let's take quick look at them

Note that the VIrtual Network does not have any copmmunication with the Host or with Physical Network Cards (The ones plugged in the Physical Machine)

You can as well configure VLANs in this private networks to separate VMs traffic. In the image below we can see 3 VMs connected to the same Virtual Network using different VLANs to isolate traffic.
