Показать описание
If you want to use MikroTik in a simulated environment than your simulator is GNS3. The newest version of the graphical network simulator is 1.4.

MikroTik is introducing Cloud Hosted Router (CHR), Public Beta – Router OS specifically tailored for running in virtual environments. CHR supports x86 64-bit architecture and can be used on most of popular hypervisors such as VMWare, Hyper-V, VirtualBox, KVM, QEMU and others. Full set of Router OS features are enabled by default, distinguished only by max upload speed. For each of the paid tiers a 60-day trial is available with no max upload speed limits.

To prepare your PC, for network simulations with MikroTik, it is necessary to follow these steps:

First: Download GNS3 and Raw disk image of the latest version of Cloud Hosted Router. Raw disk image because in this video we are going to use QEMU witch offers scalable options to use multiple routers by only one instance in GNS3.

Second: Setup GNS3 and configure your PC with Loop Back adapter.

Third: Configure GNS3 to work with Cloud Hosted Router and do some small tweaks for better visualization and performance.

Than you are ready to build complex network topologies with MikroTik RouterOS.

Dude! You rock! I have struggled with this for days. Using your video, I finally got virtual routers in GNS3 to see the outside world. Thanks for posting :)

Thanks. This was awesome. If You do not get an IP you can console and do the command: interface ethernet print. Then just put the mac address into winbox. Winbox does auto detect them but it takes a while. Is there a way to speed it up?
