How to add user name and password to vagrant file

Vagrant has a few options (see full doc https://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/vagrantfile/ssh_settings.html) :

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  config.ssh.username = "user"
  config.ssh.password = "password"
end

note indeed, you need to make sure those users exist on the guest os (generally most vagrant box are created with vagrant user)

To have the connection between your different VMs, you can easily do that if you assign fix IP to the VM.

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  config.vm.network :private_network, ip: "192.168.45.15"
end

when you connect to your second VM, you can run ssh vagrant@192.168.45.15 and it will ssh to the first VM

How to add public IP dhcp to vagrantfile

use_dhcp_assigned_default_route: true

How to Configure vagrant box names

• Virtualbox GUI Name

• vm hostname

• vagrant status name

config.vm.box = "bento/ubuntu-18.04"
  config.vm.hostname = "vmhostname"
        config.vm.define "showsvagrantupboxname"
        config.vm.provider :virtualbox do |vb|
            vb.name = "ShowsVirtualboxGUIname"
            end

Change "vmhostname" to your desired hostname

Change "showvagrantupboxname" to your desired box name, this will show in the vagrant status

change "ShowVirtualboxGUIname" this will show in the Virtual box GUI
