Private Network using VirtualBox-DHCP

[Robert Conrad]

Hey,

after updating Vagrant (OS X) from 1.2.2 to 1.2.4 I'm not able to configure a private network using a dynamic IP-address provided by VirtualBox-DHCP-server:

config.vm.network :private_network, type: "dhcp"

But the network interface in basebox expects to be configured via DHCP. Is that bug known?

I researched on plugins/kernel_v2/config/vm.rb in the validate-method and theoretically it should work:

[...]

          if type == :private_network

            if options[:type] != :dhcp

              if !options[:ip]

                errors << I18n.t("vagrant.config.vm.network_ip_required")

              end

            end

          end

[...]

It seems the option "type" is not passed to validate() correctly.

Can you give me a hint how to get this working again, please?

With kind regards

Robert

same situation,

private network doesnt give a DHCP address, error " An IP is required for a private network." 

my config line is:  config.vm.network "private_network", type: "dhcp"

any hint ?

thanks

Hello,

you did reply an email from 2013.. taking vagrant move very fast, best is just create a new one.

Are you using virtualbox or vmware?

for virtualbox, it should work.. for vmware, I have been reading some times there is no DHCP in the network and that cause to fail.

in that private network, you need to pass the IP as an argument, otherwise, if you get any random ip, how you will use it?

Try this:

config.vm.network :private_network, ip: "192.168.33.10"

and replace the IP, with one suit what you want to test.

let me know how it goes (and provide more information, what os, version of vagrant and vmware/virtualbox)

Just for following up , yes it works well when an IP is specified.

so ok , no dhcp in private network.

Cheers,

Fixed using vagrant-auto-network plugin https://github.com/adrienthebo/vagrant-auto_network

and the following line in vagrantfile :

config.vm.network :private_network, :ip =>'0.0.0.0', :auto_network => true  

Have to define a DHCP pool if required , there is one by default.

cheers.
