• NIC1: LAN (bridge to switch/vmbr0)
• NIC2: WAN (bridge to WAN/ISP simulation).

Step 4: Boot and Install VyOS

set interfaces ethernet eth0 address 192.168.10.1/24
set interfaces ethernet eth1 address dhcp
commit
save

Enable SSH:
set service ssh
commit

subnets (e.g., 192.168.20.1/24) and then configure VPN/SD-WAN between them.
