Arista vEOS up on Vagrant - Step by Step

 The journey of NetDevops is really interesting and helping me to learn new things everyday. Today I learn, how to run vEOS over Vagrant. 

Step 1. Create an account with Arista and download vEOS box file. In my case I download - "lab-4.17.10M-virtualbox.box"

Step2. Create a directory name "vagrant".

Step3. Add vEOS box file to vagrant box. 

Command- sudo vagrant box add --name vEOS-lab-4.17.10M-virtualbox ~/Downloads/vEOS-lab-4.17.10M-virtualbox.box

 Check Vagrant box list-  sudo vagrant box list

Output will be like this:

hitesh@hitesh-ThinkPad-W541:~/vagrant$ sudo vagrant box add --name vEOS-lab-4.17.10M-virtualbox ~/Downloads/vEOS-lab-4.17.10M-virtualbox.box
==> box: Box file was not detected as metadata. Adding it directly...
==> box: Adding box 'vEOS-lab-4.17.10M-virtualbox' (v0) for provider:
    box: Unpacking necessary files from: file:///home/hitesh/Downloads/vEOS-lab-4.17.10M-virtualbox.box

hitesh@hitesh-ThinkPad-W541:~/vagrant$ vagrant box list
hashicorp/precise32                   (virtualbox, 1.0.0)
hashicorp/precise64                   (virtualbox, 1.1.0)
vEOS-lab-4.17.10M-virtualbox          (virtualbox, 0)
vEOS-lab-vEOS-lab-4.17.10M-virtualbox (virtualbox, 0)

 

 

Step4: Create a file name "vagrantfile" and add the configuration to run vEOS

# Vagrantfile for the quickstart tutorial

# Script configuration:
#
# Arista vEOS box.
# Please change this to match your installed version
# (use `vagrant box list` to see what you have installed).
VEOS_BOX = "vEOS-lab-4.15.5M-virtualbox" ====> change box version to which you have download.

Vagrant.configure(2) do |config|

  config.vm.define "base" do |base|
    # This box will be downloaded and added automatically if you don't
    # have it already.
    base.vm.box = "hashicorp/precise64"
    base.vm.network :forwarded_port, guest: 22, host: 12200, id: 'ssh'
    base.vm.network "private_network", virtualbox__intnet: "link_1", ip: "10.0.1.100"
    base.vm.network "private_network", virtualbox__intnet: "link_2", ip: "10.0.2.100"
    base.vm.provision "shell", inline: "apt-get update; apt-get install lldpd -y"
  end

  config.vm.define "eos" do |eos|
    eos.vm.box = VEOS_BOX
    eos.vm.network :forwarded_port, guest: 22, host: 12201, id: 'ssh'
    eos.vm.network :forwarded_port, guest: 443, host: 12443, id: 'https'
    eos.vm.network "private_network", virtualbox__intnet: "link_1", ip: "169.254.1.11", auto_config: false
    eos.vm.network "private_network", virtualbox__intnet: "link_2", ip: "169.254.1.11", auto_config: false
  end

end

Step5. Vagrant up 


Command: sudo vagrant up --provider virtualbox

Again Got and error:

hitesh@hitesh-ThinkPad-W541:~/vagrant$ sudo vagrant up --provider virtualbox
Bringing machine 'base' up with 'virtualbox' provider...
Bringing machine 'eos' up with 'virtualbox' provider...
==> base: Checking if box 'hashicorp/precise64' is up to date...
Vagrant cannot forward the specified ports on this VM, since they
would collide with some other application that is already listening
on these ports. The forwarded port to 12200 is already in use
on the host machine.

To fix this, modify your current project's Vagrantfile to use another
port. Example, where '1234' would be replaced by a unique host port:

  config.vm.network :forwarded_port, guest: 22, host: 1234

Sometimes, Vagrant will attempt to auto-correct this for you. In this
case, Vagrant was unable to. This is usually because the guest machine
is in a state which doesn't allow modifying port forwarding.
 

Solution: Change the port in the Vagrant file to "122001" and run command again. 

This time Vagrant run as expected.
