We provide 4 different virtual disk images to choose from. Warning: We do not recommend using E1000 network interface if better synthetic interface options are available on specific Hypervisor! Disk: 128MB disk space for the CHR virtual hard drive (Max: 16GB).Host CPU: 64-bit with virtualization support.Package version: RouterOS v6.34 or newer.System Requirements Minimal requirements: CHR has full RouterOS features enabled by default but has a different licensing model than other RouterOS versions.

It supports the x86 64-bit architecture and can be used on most of the popular hypervisors such as VMWare, Hyper-V, VirtualBox, KVM and others.

7.4 Using vlans on CHR in various HypervisorsĬloud Hosted Router (CHR) is a RouterOS version intended for running as a virtual machine.

2.3 Usable Network and Disk interfaces on various hypervisors:.

2.2 CHR has been tested on the following platforms:.

In particular, the functionality of the Linux utilities iptables, iproute2, traffic control and QoS based on the HTB algorithm are almost completely implemented in the WinBox interface.

RouterOS provides the system administrator with a graphical interface (WinBox) for visual and quick firewall configuration, routing and QoS management. Mikrotik is also working on software upgrades that will ensure full compatibility of Mikrotik devices and software with increasingly popular networking technologies such as IPv6. Supported wireless chipset solutions are based on Atheros and Prism (as of RouterOS version 3.x). RouterOS provides support for almost all network interfaces on Linux kernel. RouterOS is quite flexible, and is very well supported by Mikrotik, both through the forum and various wiki materials, as well as specialized configuration examples. RouterOS supports various services and protocols that can be used by medium or large providers such as OSPF, BGP, VPLS/MPLS. A window will open in which you need to enter your email and password that you specified during registration, as well as the license level that you want to test.

Next in Winbox select System > license.

If you don't have it, then you need to create it. Here is a simple table of cost and functionality: Licenseįirst, you need an account on. It varies depending on the type of license. The only limitation is the speed of the interface. Licenses can be transferred between different machines. Keep in mind that without proper licensing, the data transfer rate through Cloud Hosted Router will be limited.Ĭloud Mikrotik is not tied to hardware.
