Host * !CentOS2-V6 IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 Port 22Host CentOS2-V4 Hostname 192.168.33.11 LocalForward 9999 127.0.0.1:8888 User vagrantHost CentOS2-V6 Hostname fe80::a00:27ff:fe56:c5a7%%eth1 IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa Port 22 User vagrantHost CentOS2-Hostname Hostname centos2 User vagrant

Now, if you SSH to the host specified, you will create a forwarded connection without having to specify it:

[vagrant@centos1 ~]$ ssh -f CentOS2-V4 sleep 120[vagrant@centos1 ~]$ curl 127.0.0.1:9999<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN"><html> ...
