Is there an issue with assigning static IP address to custom boxes?

[William Saxton]

Not sure if this is a common issue, but I've easily set up a VM with static IP using the following:

Vagrantfile:

  config.vm.define "swrmsca" do |swrmsca|

    swrmsca.vm.box = "bento/centos-7.2"

    swrmsca.vm.network "private_network", ip: "192.168.1.101"

    swrmsca.vm.hostname = "swrmsca.local"

  end

ifconfig output:

[vagrant@swrmsca ~]$ ifconfig

...

enp0s8: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500

        inet 192.168.1.101  netmask 255.255.255.0  broadcast 192.168.1.255

        inet6 fe80::a00:27ff:fe2a:37c6  prefixlen 64  scopeid 0x20<link>

I went ahead and create this box, added some packages (puppet client), then repackaged it up as puppet_client.box.

# vagrant package --output puppet_client.box

# vagrant box add puppet_client puppet_client.box

When I try to bring up this VM, though, the static IP is never assigned:

Vagrantfile:

  config.vm.define "swrmsca" do |swrmsca|

    swrmsca.vm.box = "puppet_client"

    swrmsca.ssh.insert_key = false

    swrmsca.vm.network "private_network", ip: "192.168.1.101"

    swrmsca.vm.hostname = "swrmsca.local"

  end

ifconfig output:

[vagrant@swrmsca ~]$ ifconfig

...

enp0s8: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500

        inet6 fe80::a00:27ff:fe1a:209d  prefixlen 64  scopeid 0x20<link>

Did I do something wrong with the packaging?
