I was kind of toying around with the idea of adding another NIC to my pc and then linking it up to a cheaper desktop cisco layer 3 switch and then doing a bridged connection to that NIC. I didn’t think this would work as intended though with multiple VMs linked to that one bridge port. Now however I see you can buy multiport NICs so I think if I bridged each VM to its own NIC port and linked those to their own ports on the switch I could accomplish what I want to do?
