Vagrant: Debian guest capability: configure networks

[chrisroberts]

There still seem to be some remaining issues to be resolved identified in #9134 and initially resolved with #9338.

A mix of ubuntu and debian boxes were used for testing the initial PR, so remaining issues need to be identified with specific boxes that display the error states. Conflicting reports on bento/ubuntu-17.10 (which is a box I tested locally). Error state reported on ubuntu/artful64 (https://github.com/hashicorp/vagrant/issues/9134#issuecomment-361584017)

Hi, I'm trying to use the ubuntu/bionic64 image and it seems to show the same errors as in #9134 (missing ifdown/ifup and /etc/network/interfaces).

@haggaie if you are using a version of Vagrant older than 2.0.2 then Vagrant won't have the ability to manage the boxes networking with systemd-networkd.

[haggaie]

@briancain I'm using version 2.0.2.

@haggaie As the original report says, there are still issues with some Vagrant boxes based on Ubuntu 17.10 and later, even with the latest version of Vagrant.

[briancain]

@haggaie yep, I suspect it will also have the same bug in vagrant thatubuntu/artful64 has. It should be fixed in the next release.

[haggaie]

Thanks @briancain, I'll try the next release then.

I'm not sure if this is the same issue. I don't see up/down errors. Instead it appears to configure without error, and I can connect using 127.0.0.1/2222 to the ssh, but I can't access services that are running on the guest from my host OS, e.g. a web service on port 8080.
I'm using bento/ubuntu-17.10 and Vagrant 2.0.2 and this is my network config:
hcldash.vm.network "private_network", type: "dhcp"

And on my VM, the eth1:

vagrant@vagrant:/opt/hcl-dash/logs$ ifconfig eth1
eth1: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500

I can confirm that Vagrant 2.0.3 works for ubuntu/artful64. 👏
