About

This is an example windows router working in vagrant.

Vagrant VMs need to have a management network wich is NATted by the host, but that makes it difficult to play with the windows router, so this essentially adds a secondary network interface that is used for routing, and replaces the adds a default route to use our router in eth1. So everything that would be normally done at eth0 must be done in eth1.

The network is setup as:

NB The dotted lines represent a network connection that is not directly used, instead, the traffic in those nodes goes through eth1 and is routed by the router machine.

NB For a ansible managed environment see rgl/windows-router-ansible-vagrant.

NB For a debian linux equivalent of this environment see rgl/debian-router-vagrant.

Usage

Install the base windows 2022 box.

Start this environment:

time vagrant up --provider=libvirt --no-destroy-on-error --no-tty

Network Packet Capture

Login into the VM, install npcap (its on the Desktop), and run Wireshark.
