Create virtual network but block internet access?
-
Hi, using the functionality available in XO, is it possible to create a virtual network (using New > Network in XO), that allows VMs on that network to access other local addresses (eg. a NAS on a different machine on the same LAN as the host machine), but has no access to the internet?
Or is this only possible with external equipment like changing settings on our router or setting up a dedicated firewall?
I'm a bit of a beginner when it comes to VLANs and enterprise level networking concepts, sorry.
Basically I'd like to be able to set up a XO virtual network that my VMs can assigned to by default, that will block their internet access but still allow access to our NAS and other stuff on our LAN. Without needing to configure anything extra on the guest OS.

@fohdeesha will answer but basically, yes, you can have a dedicated network without internet access.

@zevgeny Hi, yes this can be easily done by just creating a new network as you described. VMs will be able to access anything in that network/subnet without extra configuration. If they ever need to talk to things outside of that network/subnet (like the internet), they would need a router to route the traffic between subnets
