isolate lab network

[cuukie]

hello forum. i have a two vmware servers each with one network adapter each hooked up to my hp curve 1810-24g switch.

i want to make my lab into a domain setting as to mimic a real life business setup but not have my home computers see the domain.

Is it possible using this setup to accomplish such things? if yes how so?

Don't put a gateway on their NIC

Just VLAN them?

vlans, or "virtual networks" (this will be called differently based on vm solution)
