Applies to RouterOS:3, v4
Install Mikrotik RouterOS on virtual machine(vmware), for learning and simulating. But can't use wireless. Thanks, may helpfull. RouterOS 7 includes encryption features (components), intended for data (information) security, passed through telecommunication channels and device control channels. All encryption features (components) are an integral part of RouterOS 7 and can not be changed by the end-users. MikroTik Cloud Hosted Router (CHR) and License MikroTik CHR is a RouterOS version aimed for running as a virtual machine. It supports both x86 and 64-bit architecture and can be used on most of the popular hypervisors such as VMWare, Hyper-V, VirtualBox, KVM and others.
RouterOS has three different Virtualization implementations. Choose your topic:
Metarouter
Metarouter is created by MikroTik and currently is supported only on RouterBOARD 4xx series (mips-be) and RB1000 series (powerpc). Currently Metarouter can only create RouterOS virtual machines.
Creates output with all RouterOS settings (including the default ones) find. Find items by value. Parameter Type Description. Enum comment dynamic-bridge dynamic-mac-address static-interface type virtual-machine vm-mac-address Name of editable property. Enum parameters: comment - Short description of the item; enable.
We are planning to add more features to Metarouter, so that it will even exceed Xen in functionality. New hardware support will also be added to Metarouter
Xen
Xen is based on the Linux Xen Virtual machine project, and current RouterOS implementation is supported only on RouterOS X86 systems (PCs). Xen can create Virtual machines of different Operating Systems that supports Xen.
Kvm
Kvm is based on Linux Kvm virtualization software and requires your CPU to support virtualization. Kvm is available only on x86 systems.
Usage Examples
Vostro 3550 drivers windows 7 32 bit iso. The following are just a few of possible scenarios where virtual machines could be used (some of these currently are possible only in Xen, but Metarouter features will be expanded to allow even more functionality):
In the datacenter
- consolidate a number of routers on one hardware platform
- consolidate routing services and higher levels services such a VOIP switches in the same box
- use a guest machine on top of a router for custom features such as accounting, LDAP or legacy networking
- redundant routers much easier and cheaper to have available in case of crashed systems
In the hosting center
- use RouterOS and extensive networking features as a host with a server (mail, http, ftp..) running as guest or multiple guest virtual machines
- offer virtual routers with VPN solutions that give a network administrator customer his own router on a highspeed backbone to make any kind of tunneled intranet or simply VPN access system
At the wireless ISP client site
- set up two isolated routers and set the wireless control only for the router controlled by the WISP while the Ethernet side router is fully under the clients control

At multiclient sites (such as office buildings)
- in locations serving multiple clients by Ethernet from one backbone connection (wired or wireless), give each customer control over his own isolated virtual router
For network planning and testing Octopus smart card driver download.
- build a virtual network on one box with the same topography as a planned network and test the configurations so that the fine tuning of the configurations can be done in the lab and not in the field, simulate and monitor the network with advanced scripting and The Dude network monitor utility

In custom applications
- develop your own programs (and even Linux distributions) that can be installed on MikroTik supported platforms with minimum difficulty as software patches and virtual drivers are provided for guest systems
- use low cost RouterBOARD embedded systems easily with your own Linux and the advantage that it will work across all RouterBOARDS with the same CPU
