Right now you saw that the virtual interface is visible in the Host Interfaces menu as tap1 and also in the guest interfaces menu as ether1.

Now we can try to connect from remote vncviewer 10.5.100.99:1 VNC servers address in this case is the address on the host reachable from remote locations.

There are two ways how to connect to KVM Guest:
#Kvm reboot guest time zone changes manual#
More information about virtual interfaces are in virtual-ethernet manual Connecting to the virtual machine For static interfaces this address will not change during use of guest, for dynamic interface will change every time dynamic interface is created.

Generate MAC addresses will be in form of 02:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX. If mac addresses are not specified when creating virtual interfaces, addresses are generated automatically. Making changes to running guest may lead to host system crash. Note: Add and remove interfaces only when KVM guest is shut-down, stopped or disabled. In this case dynamic type is used which creates dynamic virtual interface on the /interface virtual-ethernet> printįlags: D - dynamic, X - disabled, R - runningĠ D R tap1 1500 enabled /interface virtual-ethernet> # VIRTUAL-MACHINE INTERFACE TYPE VM-MAC-ADDRESS Lets add to our previously created Virtual Router one /kvm interface> add virtual-machine=ROS /kvm interface> print Kernel-cmdline="" initrd="/boot/initrd.rgz" vnc-server=0.0.0.0:0 snapshot=no /kvm> We must start it /kvm> start /kvm> printĠ name="ROS" cpu-count=2 memory=128MiB disk-images=hda:ros1.img kernel="/boot/vmlinuz" KVM Guest when created is not automatically started. Guests other than RouterOS also can break if you leave these values empty. Note: Leaving initrd and kernel properties empty is dangerous if Host and Guest will be running different RouterOS versions. Initrd=/boot/initrd.rgz kernel=/boot/vmlinuz kernel-cmdline="console=ttyS0" Initrd="" kernel="" kernel-cmdline="console=ttyS0"Īs you noticed initrd and kernel properties are empty, which means that hosts kernel and initrd is used.įor example, to add guest without SMP support we can explicitly set initrd and kernel: kvm add name=ROS memory=128MiB cpu-count=2 disabled=no disk-images=hda:ros1.img \ We can proceed with Guest configuration when disk image is created. kvm make-routeros-image file-name=ros1.img file-size=128 RouterOS has built in commands to make and modify RouterOS image easily without external tools. it is possible to create virtual network within one x86 machine very similar to real network and test how RouterOS behaves before implementing the setup in your production network.īefore creating KVM guest we need image file. Virtual Router is useful to allow clients or lower-privilege users access their own 'router' and adjust configure as they like without the need for a second hardware.įor example a WISP can create a virtual router for the clients ethernet port allowing them to define their own firewall settings, while leaving the WISP's wireless settings untouched.Īnother useful method is to run guest OS that supports functionality which is not available in RouterOS, for example, Intrusion detection (SNORT), Asterisk or Squid web proxy. KVM support in RouterOS is enabled if kvm package is installed. Once image file have been created, its size cannot be increased. Here you can find a list of supported CPUs, for more detailed information look on vendor's web site.Įach guest requires at least 16 MB of RAM and sufficient storage space on image file. KVM requires Intel VT-x or AMD-V CPU virtualization support. KVM can be used only on x86 machines that have CPU with virtualization support. Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) is the method to run multiple guest operating systems on one RouterOS host.
