I am using the VMWare Plugin. I am currently using the following :
config.vm.network "public_network", ip: "172.17.255.13", netmask: "255.255.255.0"
It does indeed make a BRIDGED
connection, however it is a BRIDGED DHCP
Connection.
Has anybody used static IP's successfully?
It is a CentOS-6.6 Box.
Update: It was the particular VM configuration, the creator didn't delete a file in /etc/ that needs to be cleared before VM packaging
I came up with a pretty elegant solution while waiting for this to get patched by the vagrant-vmware-workstation plugin team.
I set up vagrant set up a public_network with auto_config set to false. (So vagrant doesn't overwrite the file I change)
config.vm.network "public_network", auto_config: false
After I set that up, I can run a shell provisioner to echo to the file that contains the settings for eth1 (eth0 is always vagrant's host only network)
config.vm.provision "shell" do |s|
s.path = "setIP.sh"
s.args = ["192.168.1.150", "255.255.255.0"] #ip/netmask
privileged = "true"
end
It runs a shell script passing the IP and Netmask into the shell script as arguments.
The shell script modifies /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
(the config file for eth1 in CentOS-6.6) then proceeds to restart networking to make the settings take effect.
setIP.sh:
echo Setting IP to $1, Netmask to $2
cat <<EOF > /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
#PACHONK SET-IP CONFIG BEGIN
IPADDR=$1
NETMASK=$2
ONBOOT=yes
DEVICE=eth1
#PACHONK SET-IP CONFIG BEGIN
EOF
#Restart networking to make IP active
/etc/init.d/network restart
Like I said, looks like it's been a bug for awhile. I created the most elegant fix I could for the time being.
