As a virtual router, I am using RouterOS from MikroTik, but feel free to install any vRouter with which you have hands-on experience.
RouterOS can be downloaded from https://mikrotik.com/download. Once you register your account on Mikrotik.com, you can obtain a free 60-day evaluation license.

Once you have deployed the virtual router, all you need to do is to assign more virtual network adapters:
|
vNIC ID |
Port group |
|
Network adapter 1 |
VM network |
|
Network adapter 2 |
Internal management |
|
Network adapter 3 |
Production |
