Just quick note for my own 🙂
I need to ssh to my CentOS 6.6 box that run under Virtualbox with these steps :
1. NAT
Virtualbox will create private network using these address (10.0.2.xxx). Just set eth0 configuration to DHCP and everything will be set.
2. Â Port forwarding setup to port 2222
Click Setting -> Network -> Port Forwarding
3. Test ssh connection
ssh [email protected] -p 2222
The authenticity of host ‘[127.0.1.1]:2222 ([127.0.1.1]:2222)’ can’t be established.
RSA key fingerprint is ee:81:d0:da:7e:b4:fe:bc:cd:d7:93:e0:fc:c3:63:80.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
Warning: Permanently added ‘[127.0.1.1]:2222’ (RSA) to the list of known hosts.

Of course the connection work on ‘temporary’ ip address. To make it permanent, editing /etc/sysconfig/ifcfg-eth0 needed to set ip address static.
