Restart Vmware fusion networking -

sudo /Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vmnet-cli --stop
sudo /Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vmnet-cli --configure
sudo /Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vmnet-cli --start
sudo /Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vmnet-cli --status

Verify that vmnet8 is the only routed subnet:

netstat -nr | grep vmn

You should see something like the following:

192.168.103        link#12            UC              3        0  vmnet8
192.168.103.255    link#12            UHLWbI          1       23  vmnet8

Create your machines using Vagrant.
Verify that the machines can ping one another using the IP addresses specified for the eth1 interface.
