Change the eth0 ip because oft IP conflict

[benboit]

Hi, we are using the 10.0.0.0 net at work for our Servers. Server within that net are not reachable from a vagrant virtualbox. Even adding a public_network interface using DHCP only works if i explicitly set the interface eth1 in the ping Command. My solution now was to add a Route for the destination IP, but this is a annoying workaround. Is it possible to set a different eth0 IP in the vagrantfile or could this be implemented?

hello

you usually end having eth0 on the NAT network in virtualbox, then on
eth1/eth2 you can have other networks.

if I read your email and I understand it correctly, you have a network in
eth1 that have router/gw, and is not working because the route packages
goes over eth0?

can you paste here the output of

ifconfig -a
route -n

and tellme your host and guest os?

route add -host 10.0.2.114 dev eth2

fixes it, but only for 10.0.2.114 .... (dont want to add each internal server there)

eth2 is used to connect to the interal net (dhcp), eth1 has a static ip to use for etc/hosts (dont know how to update on vagrant up, plugins for that are not working .... )

Host OS is Ubuntu (mint) and guest if Debian Wheezy.

eth0 in Vagrant for now is always NAT. The NAT IP is determined by VirtualBox settings that Vagrant doesn't touch. You can change the NAT IP range by configuring VirtualBox itself.

[killerwolf]

on a multi-vm vagrant env, this ip is always the same, so how to get a different one, because some services relies on the default ethernet interface.

[mckelvin]

According to https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch09.html#changenat ,

If, for any reason, the NAT network needs to be changed, this can be achieved with the following command:
VBoxManage modifyvm "VM name" --natnet1 "192.168/16"

This can be fixed by modifying your Vagrantfile:

  config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|
    [...]
    vb.customize ['modifyvm', :id, '--natnet1', '192.168.222.0/24']
    [...]
  end

All,
I am getting a similar problem as "killerwolf" on a multi-vm vagrant env where eth0 of all VMs are getting the same ip. How can this be fixed.

Thanks @mckelvin - my Vagrantfile was booting 7 VM's that refused to talk to each other and your snippit allowed me to move off the 10.0.2 subnet. This in turn avoided some IP clash somewhere on my work network. The clue was running a port scan on my vagrant provisioned salt-master - the results came back with a load of listening ports not appropriate to the VM i.e. some other machine somewhere. For reference on CentOS you can do this as follows:

sudo yum install nmap
sudo nmap -sT -O 192.168.0.100

In the above example my salt-master is 192.168.0.100 so I called nmap from a minion to see what ports it was exposing and couldn't see a listener on 4506 or any familiar services.

thanks @mckelvin - nice trick
I defined a NAT network for every single VM in my multi-machine Vagrantfile. works now. 👍

vb.customize ['modifyvm', :id, '--natnet1', '192.168.222.0/24']
…
vb.customize ['modifyvm', :id, '--natnet1', '192.168.n.0/24']
