virtualbox networking whitou bridging

hello
i'm new here and i hope this is riht section to ask this..

i'm going to write a multilayer software switch (i know what you think but it's a school work .)) and i need some virtual network to test it.
so i installed virtualbox, created some virtual machines and now i need set up network. but, every manual i found explains how to set up network whit host compeuter as a bridge.. whit these settings i wont see if switch running on host pc is switching, because brideged vbox network will switch packets anyway.

so,in a nutshell, i need connect virtual pcs via host pc, and this host pc will be running my own switch, so i can test if that switch is really switching packets..

i hope i'm clear enough to be understood .)

thank you for any help

edit: taht switch need to have only two ports, so a spimplest network (2 virtual pcs and host) is enough
