Yes you can very easily do that with no network knowledge or anything to know really
- Follow the step 1 only from the server doc. Don't follow other steps such as step 1.2, you don't need a server key for this. Don't modify the server key in the bat file
- Edit the .bat file and change the port to anything that's not the default port, so for example
5000then save - Start the game
- Once the game is started you can start the server by double clicking on the bat file you edited earlier
- Go back to the game and after a few seconds (around 5) open the console and type
connect localhost:5000.
Obviously replace 5000 with the port you chose in the bat file - For the bots part you can either manually spawn them with
spawnbot 11in the server's console (not in-game) or the recommended and best solution is to use Bot Warfare to have it automatically fill all your games with bots all the time and to allow for greater configuration. For Bot Warfare you can read this topic for MW3 but most of it is the same for BO2
Also note that since you are on a dedicated server you can easily configure rotations and use server only scripts like mapvotes script which allow you to have a semi random rotation and to vary maps and gamemodes instead of having the same rotation in the same order all the time.
For example you could use my mapvote script
