Windows 10 Hyper-V - Finally a NAT Option...

Not sure about you but I've been waiting a long time for NAT to be part of HyperV on Windows client. The "other" guys have it - and for a long time too.

Now, with Nested Virtualization and NAT support, my world is nearly complete...

To enable it though on Windows 10, I don't believe there's anything in HyperV Manager that allows that.

But, PowerShell, and now that's x-plat too, to the rescue.

The below will create a single NAT device on the Virtual Switch and machines will be in the 192.168.10.0/24 network. If you want to change that range, just be sure to update the gateway IP (below it's the 192.168.10.1) - there's some CIDR notation too.

$natName = "NATSwitch"

New-VMSwitch -SwitchName $natName -SwitchType Internal

$interface = Get-NetAdapter | where {$_.name -like "*$natName*" }

New-NetIPAddress -IPAddress 192.168.10.1 -PrefixLength 24 -InterfaceIndex $interface.ifIndex
New-NetNat -Name "MyNATNetwork" -InternalIPInterfaceAddressPrefix 192.168.10.0/24
