Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows, providing only Windows and PowerShell-based instructions for creating a virtual switch, NAT, and DHCP server. All examples use Windows-specific tools (PowerShell cmdlets, Windows Features), and there are no Linux equivalents or cross-platform instructions. The prerequisites and steps assume the user is on Windows, with no mention of how similar tasks could be performed on Linux or with Linux-native tools.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent instructions for Linux environments, such as using Linux networking tools (e.g., ip, brctl, dnsmasq, isc-dhcp-server) to create virtual switches, configure NAT, and set up DHCP.
- Provide cross-platform context, explaining how the process differs on Linux and referencing relevant Linux documentation.
- Include Linux command-line examples alongside PowerShell examples, or provide links to Linux-specific guides.
- Clarify in the prerequisites and introduction whether the guide is intended only for Windows users, and if so, link to Linux-specific documentation for users on Linux hosts.
