Trying to make two vagrant VMs on my workstattion to talk

[John Riker]

I created two vagrant nodes on my laptop with two distinct ip addresses using private network configuration (config.vm.network :private_network, ip: “<ip address>”

How do I make them talk to each other?  If I ping the IP address for each host from the vagrant node, it succeeds. However, nslookup points the IP to some host on the general internet.

After doing some google search, tried turning iptables off….but that did not help.

Any ideas on what I may be missing?

Thanks,

Hello there

the easiest will be use /etc/hosts in the virtual machines in that way you will be able to use names in each of them.

regarding dns, is not that easy thing to do, if that was easy, like fire up a dns record and propagate over the internet, what will stop you to put google.com on your vm? or amazon.com?

name to ip is the normal dns resolution, the query is looking for a flag A (address), that's the normal resolution.

ip to name, is called reverse of the ip, the query is looking for a PTR record (reverse)

if in your network, your have dns, you can add the reverse zones you are using, and inside the reverse IP you are using.

However, i think etc hosts is the easiest way of do it.

If you check in the following link

https://github.com/kikitux/packer-vagrant-oracle/blob/master/vagrant/rac/Vagrantfile

I have a Vagrantfile that have the etc hosts in a s cript, and then that script is executed in the vms in the multimachine vagrant, so the same should work for you.

Hope this helps,
Alvaro.
