Vagrant can't ssh to guest - Connection refused

[EzsraM]

I am new to Parallels. I have been using Vagrant with VirtualBox for a few months. This week I purchased a copy of Parallels Desktop 15 for Business.

Parallels Desktop 15 for Business
Vagrant, Installed Version: 2.2.5
MacOS: 10.14.6

First thing I did was install the plugin
$ vagrant plugin install vagrant-parallels

Next I tried creating a centos7 guest.
$ mkdir centos7p
$ cd centos7p
$ vagrant init "generic/centos7"
$ vagrant up --provider=parallels

The box begins to load and finally I see the following:
==> default: Registering VM image from the base box 'generic/centos7'...
==> default: Creating new virtual machine as a linked clone of the box image...
==> default: Unregistering the box VM image...
==> default: Setting the default configuration for VM...
==> default: Checking if box 'generic/centos7' version '1.9.28' is up to date...
==> default: Setting the name of the VM: centos7p_default_1568126911696_44025
==> default: Fixed port collision for 22 => 2222. Now on port 2200.
==> default: Preparing network interfaces based on configuration...
default: Adapter 0: shared
.......
==> default: Waiting for machine to boot. This may take a few minutes...
default: SSH address: 10.211.55.14:22
default: SSH username: vagrant
default: SSH auth method: private key
default: Warning: Connection refused. Retrying...
default: Warning: Connection refused. Retrying...
default: Warning: Connection refused. Retrying...
default: Warning: Connection refused. Retrying...

I checked the SSH configuration:
$ vagrant ssh-config
Host default
HostName 10.211.55.15
User vagrant
Port 22
UserKnownHostsFile /dev/null
StrictHostKeyChecking no
PasswordAuthentication no
IdentityFile /Users/somewhere/.vagrant.d/insecure_private_key
IdentitiesOnly yes
LogLevel FATAL

This is not what I am used to. Normally vagrant used a port forward with virtualboxes. So I checked and can not access port 22 on 10.211.55.15. SSH is running and no firewall is enabled.

I tried other Boxes. They all do the same things, Ubuntu, Centos, does not seem to matter.

I googled around for a while but did not find any solutions. Any assistance would be appreciated.

I was able to work around this by adding the following to my vagrant file:

config.ssh.host = "127.0.0.1"
config.ssh.port = 2322
config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 22, host: 2322

This is not desirable but for some reason Vagrant is unable to figure out the port forward on its own.

Well, I also installed the parallels guest tools on the guest and it seems to have resolved the issue. Odd.

# Have Vagrant update/install guest Tools
websrv.vm.provider "parallels" do |prl|
prl.update_guest_tools = true
end
