But when I tried to connect to it\'s cqlsh using \"192.x.x.x\" from

Answer 1

I had the same issue, I was not allowed to listen to 0.0.0.0 and Cassandra was running on a VM with Bridged network. The solution I found was to let the VM SSH to itself, port forwarding the port on the bridged network interface to localhost:

ssh -L 192.168.x.x:9042:127.0.0.1:9042 myvmuser@localhost

Since the IP of the bridged network card would change (depending on which developers machine it was run) the ssh-command had to first get the IP, this snipped worked for that:

ifconfig | grep -Eo 'inet (addr:)?([0-9]*\.){3}[0-9]*' | grep -Eo '([0-9]*\.){3}[0-9]*' | grep -v '127.0.0.1'

Also, as this should happen on boot you have to create a SSH key for the vm-user and trust it via .ssh/authorized_keys.
