You administer a Windows Server 2012 R2 server that has the Hyper-V role installed. You have the following virtual machines (VMs):

You also have the following two switches:

VM-Server1 has network connectivity to VM-Server2 and VM-Server3, as well as the host server, VM-Server4 has network connectivity to VM-Server5, but NOT to the host server.
You need to configure VM-Server6 to ensure that VM-Server6 has network connectivity only to the other test VMs.
