Hello Ravikumar.

I don’t need to be concerned about which ssh port Vagrant is actually using to connect to VMs. Just set up correctly an Ansible’s inventory file passing the credentials for the connection, VM’s IP and names. I have the same scenario you described and everything that I’ve done was:

# inventory file

IPs and names..

…

Groups  
…

# Setting up management connections to hosts

[all:vars]  
ansible\_ssh\_user=vagrant  
ansible\_ssh\_private\_key\_file=/root/.vagrant.d/insecure\_private\_key  
ansible\_ssh\_common\_args=‘-o StrictHostKeyChecking=no’

[user@testenv ~] sudo ansible-playbook -i inventory\_file \_your\_playbook\_file

Of course, it’s a default configuration for testing and controlled environments.

Good luck.
