host-only networks for non-emulated VMs w/ "Apple Virtualization"

[johebll]

Hello,

not sure whether this is a documentation question or feature request.

I try to implement multiple network interfaces on virtual machines created via UTM 4.7.4 on Apple Silicon M3 and MacOS 15.7.1, while the VM is created with "Apple Virtualization", i.e. without qemu.

Accordingly, the only available options for the NIC types seem to be "Shared" and "Bridged".
Is it possible, to implement multiple NICs, each of which are in different subnets, similar to VirtualBox "Internal Networking"?
The documentation is a bit thin here...

From the experience i made, the core problem seems to be that multiple "Bridged" network interfaces can be implemented per VM, but they all connect to the same bridge bridge101, which kind of defeats the purpose, if i did not miss s.th.

Also, "bridge101" seems to autoconnect to the respective currently active NIC of the host, which makes networking of virtual deployments somewhat hard to predict, because the IP address range changes with any different environment the hypervisor is connected to?
