Objective of Simulation
• Virtual Lab Setup• Training Class Setup• Preparation for MikroTik Certification test • Feature Test & Many more …
Arif Hossen @ MUM Bangladesh 2016
Network Simulation Tools
• Graphical Network Simulator• Open source Software• Run on windows/Linux/Mac• Running Multivendor devices• Simulate complex network
topologies
• Well know hypervisor• QEMU• Vmware• VirtualBox• Xen• KVM
GNS3 Hypervisor MikroTik RouterOS ISO
• RouterOS has two versions -• Traditional X86 ISO• CHR Image
• Different license modality

What is Hypervisor
• Piece of computer software, firmware or hardware that creates and runs virtual machine
• Each virtual machine is call guest operating system
Arif Hossen @ MUM Bangladesh 2016
Type of Hypervisor• Type-1 native or bare-metal hypervisors• Type-2 or hosted hypervisors
Arif Hossen @ MUM Bangladesh 2016
Example of hypervisor Software• Bare Metal virtualization hypervisor
– Vmware ESX / ESXi– Hyper-V– Citrix Xen Server– Oracle VM
• Hosted virtualization hypervisor– Vmware Workstation/Fusion/Player– Oracle VirtualBox– Kernel based Virtual Machine (KVM)– QEMU– Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Arif Hossen @ MUM Bangladesh 2016
MikroTik RouterOS
• Operating System Base on Linux Kernel• RouterOS is used for -– RouterBoard– x86 based PC Hardware
• ROuterOS for Cloud which is know as Cloud Hosted Router (CHR)
Arif Hossen @ MUM Bangladesh 2016
X86 PC ISO Vs CHR
• Both version of RouterOS support same features
• Licensing model is different– CHR has 4 licensing model– X86/PC has 6 license level

Target/Demo Lab Setup
• Download & Install GNS3• Download CHR Raw Disk Image
http://download2.mikrotik.com/routeros/6.34.2/chr-6.34.2.img.zip
• Unzip the download file• Open GNS3 GUI
– Click Edit Preferences …– Click “Qemu VMs” on the left side– Create RouterOS Template (New -> Select Local Type: Default ->
Choose a name -> Choose amount of RAM to allocate for one RouterOS instance: 64MB is suggested -> Chose disk image from Extract folder
– Click newly created Qemu template and set up necessary network adapter, Symbol, vCPUs, RAM
– Now RouterOS template is available from side panel
Arif Hossen @ MUM Bangladesh 2016
Target/Demo Lab Setup (Cont ..)• Now Click GNS3 File New blank project ..
– Drag and drop RouterOS Template on the main screen as many times as you need
– Connect them with links– To start right click on the router and start – To connect router click right button on the device and select console

Connect to LAB Using IP/MAC
• Create Loopback interface– To do so, execute command: 'hdwwiz.exe' (as Administrator) - Add Hardware
Wizard will open.– Advanced -> Network Adapters -> Microsoft -> Microsoft Loopback
adapter/Microsoft KM-TEST Loopback Adapter should be chosen.– Open 'Control Panel -> Network and Sharing center -> Change adapter
settings'. Rename the adapter to ‘Loopback’
• Restart Laptop• Open GSN3 and start Demo Lab project• Open Winbox to Connect Demo Lab using MAC/IP

• Connecting issue via Winbox– If there are problems with pinging Loopback
interface from the router or VPCS, check that your antivirus and/or firewall is not blocking traffic from virtual RouterOS instances to the host machine.
– When using Windows 8, if there are problems with pinging Loopback interface from the router or VPCS, try reinstalling Winpcap and run it using compatibility mode for Windows 7
