@ferventcoder @mwrock what are your thoughts on this?

[gep13]

During the vagrant up command, I had two things to fill out. The first was selecting which switch to connect to, and also the username and password for the SMB share:

I don't think that there is anything that can be done about either of those things.

I tried using vagrant snapshot which I "think" is meant to work, but I got an error

Pretty sure that this used to work the last time I tried it. @mwrock is this something that you use?

[mwrock]

I'm fairly sure there is a way to specify the interface to use in the vagrantfile but not sure off the top of my head if you can specify the synced folder creds.

I've never used snapshots with vagrant so cant vouch for it with the hyper-v provider.

@mwrock I tried setting the vlan_id (https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/hyperv/configuration.html#vlan_id), thinking that this is what was required, but it seemed to ignore it.

It isn't the end of the world to have to provide those things, it just means the experience is slightly different.

Snapshotting would be a nice value add from the command line, but again, not the end of the world to have to jump to the Hyper-V manager, or directly call the CheckPoint-VM cmdlet.

I think you can specify the switch using:

config.vm.network "public_network", bridge: "VirtualSwitchName"
