This allows you to connect to the box using the following command (without so many of the extra options present). This assumes the box IP address is the same as above, but you can also include wildcards in the Host header to include a number of Vagrant boxes (based on their IP address). You can simplify this slightly by using your SSH config file to automatically add these parameters to your SSH call when you run it. ssh -i /your/user/directory/.vagrant.d/insecure_private_key -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null -o StrictHostKe圜hecking=no -o PasswordAuthentication=no -o IdentitiesOnly=yes So assuming that the virtual machine's IP address is 192.168.100.100 then you would connect to it in the following way. This meant using the -o flag to pass in the extra SSH config parameters to the command. I still wanted to connect to the box via the IP address that I had set for it. However, what we are doing here is essentially using the local machine to route us to the correct machine based on it's port number. ssh/config file you can connect to the virtual machine via SSH in the following way. Note that injection of private keys and provisioning during vagrant up does work. The VM ssh server does not log a connection attempt. vagrant ssh returns to the host shell, the ssh connection is not established. IdentityFile /your/user/directory/.vagrant.d/insecure_private_keyīy putting this into your. vagrant ssh should open a ssh connection to the running VM. Here is some sample output (the reference to 'default' is the name of the host in your Vagrantfile). You can use this command to output a valid SSH configuration that can be placed into your SSH config file to allow connection to the virtual machine. This lead me to discover the vagrant ssh-config command. Received disconnect from 192.168.100.100: 2: Too many authentication failures for vagrantĪfter a bit of digging I found that although I was passing in the key there were a few other options that I needed to include in order to get things working. $ ssh -i /your/user/directory/.vagrant.d/insecure_private_key So my first test was with a standard SSH connect command, but also passing in the Vagrant insecure key using the -i flag. This is the same private key that has been in use since the beginning of Vagrant so it will be the same on any machine with Vagrant installed. I know that Vagrant creates a link to the server with the username of 'vagrant' and a private key that is found in the. Out of curiosity I found myself needing to connect to the box directly via the IP address I set in the Vagrantfile rather than use the vagrant ssh command. Vagrant handles all of the port matching and key finding behind the scenes. All this is essentially transparent so that when you type vagrant ssh you connect to the box without any problems. By default this is usually port 2222, which Vagrant maps to port 22 on the virtual machine. When Vagrant sets up a virtual machine it will set up a port on your local machine that you can use to connect to the box via SSH.
