How to have Chef use a different ip?

Question

I'm using a bridged network on a vagrant VM with chef-client. knife node show test1-vagrant shows an ip address of 10.0.2.15, which is eth0. eth1 is 192.168.1.5, which is what DHCP gave it. How can i get chef thinking the ip address is 192.168.1.5 instead, so that I can knife ssh -a ipaddress?

Consider running your VirtualBox VMs in bridged mode instead of NAT mode. — Michael Hampton, Nov 07 '12 at 01:34
Even though you have private/public network configured Chef provisioner still uses 10.0.2.15 as node['ipaddress'] — Maxim Vladimirsky, Apr 25 '13 at 08:05
maybe [this is the ticket](https://tickets.opscode.com/browse/OHAI-287) on the opscode site? — cwd, Aug 13 '14 at 01:14

This cookbook might help you, it changes the ipaddress node attribute to use the ip address associated to the eth1 interface: https://github.com/tknerr/cookbooks-vagrant-ohai

Here is a complete Vagrant Plugin that installs an ohai plugin that does something similar https://github.com/avishai-ish-shalom/vagrant-ohai

Only problem is right now it seems to only install it if you are using the :chef_solo or :chef_server provisioner.
