VirtualBox Bridged Network Adapter

To ssh into it a virtualbox vm, set up bridged networking:

Add a bridged adapter similar to this

Spin up your vm and look for the new interface. In my case the interface was not configured automatically:

 $ ifconfig -a
 eth2      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 08:00:27:2D:73:70  
           BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
           RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
           TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
           collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 
           RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
           Interrupt:16 Base address:0xd240 

To set up via dhcp, kill any dhclient processes that may attached to the interface and then restart:
```
 $ kill $(lsof -tc dhclient)
 $ dhclient eth2
```

Assuing dhclient succeeded, you can now find out the ip address assigned:

 $ifconfig -a
 eth2      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 08:00:27:2D:73:70  
           inet addr:10.10.11.163  Bcast:10.10.15.255  Mask:255.255.248.0
           inet6 addr: fe80::a00:27ff:fe2d:7370/64 Scope:Link
           UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
           RX packets:34244 errors:15 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
           TX packets:477 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
           collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 
           RX bytes:2268686 (2.1 MiB)  TX bytes:60728 (59.3 KiB)
           Interrupt:16 Base address:0xd240 

To have the interface configured at boot, in the vm:

$ cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
$ cp ifcfg-eth0  ifcfg-eth2
$ sed -i 's/eth0/eth2/g' ifcfg-eth2

Back on the host OS, you can now:
```
 $ ssh 10.10.11.163
```
