Any virtual machine that runs on the virtual switch will use an IPv4 address in the 192.168.0.0 address range. The machines will route to the LAN via the management OS NIC and NAT, the same way that your laptop or tablet accesses the Internet via the router in your home. As far as the LAN is concerned, these machines are accessing the LAN from the single LAN IP address of the host.
