Testing and production, how best to arrange proxmox networking?

Hi everyone,

So I have to Proxmox 8.1.3 nodes running in a cluster. No HA setup, just simple connection to allow for occasional VM move and central SDN configuration.
Few VMs, some CTs, all running smoothly and I call it the production environment.

Everyone will know, that reverting changes is easy if you have plenty of backups to hand, but it also is slightly annoying.

I'd like to slice out a fragment of the cluster for 'testing' environment, so I can take a snapshot of a VM, 'move it' to a separate network and be able to play with it.

So my question is, how best to do it?

Current setup includes:

VLAN 10 - 192.168.10.0/24 - environment
VLAN 99 - 10.0.0.0/24 - cluster

How can I create an SDN Zone/VLAN with 192.168.10.0/24 that will not cross the VLAN10. I'm guessing some NAT will have to be implemented?

Thanks in advance
