My task is to create multiple internal IP subnets and configure routing between them on my standalone Hyper-V stand. By default, Hyper-V doesn’t route traffic between networks on virtual switches. So to solve a task like this, you need to create a virtual machine with two network interfaces on different Hyper-V switches (in different networks) and configure routing between the interfaces using guest OS software (it may be either a VM running Windows Server with the RRAS role or a Linux host with a specific routing table). This method is not very convenient, because you have to run a separate VM for routing purposes only, and when adding a new IP subnet, you will have to reconfigure the routing table on your additional VM. However, I managed to figure out how to configure a Hyper-V host so that it could work as a router between different virtual switches/networks/IP subnets.
