Details about the video:
We will be talking about how to utilize those free licenses you get from MikroTik whenever passing one of your certifications. Creating an x86 platform which we can use in either production or test environments. This is a powerful way to learn how to use RoSv7 without having to spend extra capital on hardware or risking your existing hardware.

Thanks again for watching
I really love MikroTik and it's crazy the different ways you can bring RoS into your networks. I've even seen people running this off of usb drives :O, I've really never seen any other vendor being so versatile. It truly is the swiss army knife of the industry! What's the craziest MikroTik setup you've seen?
I have not seen a Mikrotik on a stick so to speak (usb drive) but since Mikrotik actually have ARM devices i would like to see a port to something like a Nvidia Jetson. Yea Mikrotik has the mAP units but i would sacrifice the slight size difference for the performance bump.
ROS v7 - production ISP setup - 4 full BGP tables (around 3.5mi routes), 900MB RAM occupied on RB 2116. 3 weeks - stable on 7.1.5
How long did it take to converge all 3.5m routes?
@@mr_g2671 I think around 1-1.5 minutes. Hard to tell as the counter doesn't work in 7.1.5
thank you sir for sharing! love it!
YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!!!!
You're making me fall in love with Mikrotik.
from that angle virtualization, it can be done on workstation, player, xen, virtualbox, I believe under hyper-v on windows 10 it should work as well. never the less I would recommend doing it on top of xcp-ng which does not require any type of extra cost. my only concern is whether those vm's / x86 routers needs the guest tools being installed within the vm or not.
ROS is so versitile, almost as skyrim, you can install it on a toothbrush if you want😁😁😁. My collegue once mentioned that in the early days of mikrotik, they actually installed ros on pc and servers (they had like 5 or 6 NICs) and they use that pc as router. I myself have CHR 6.48.6 installed on VM as DUDE server
I have as home router a thin client running routerOS x86
@The Network Berg
Thanks for sharing. We do use the same method for our labs, altho I can't do fancy stuff as you do. Additionally, I think it would be nice if you could do an EVE-NG video too. again thank you.
Guys, does anyone have an idea how to use mangle, address list, and TLS-host to mark youtube connections and route them VIA WG tunnel ( Bypassing ISP purposes )? I can use this method for none QUIC websites but I can't figure this out to mark youtube connections. any comment/advice would be appreciated.
I did not manage to enable containers either, which is a weird limitation for the best architecture to do it on.
Installing on bare cold steel is a lot more tricky. My installation shows 8 cpus, 64bit, 8G memory, dual 10G fibre - was a lot of fun to build.
Definitely sounds like a lot of fun
Great video as always TNB! Wanted to know real quick; I want to emulate Cisco Sdwan on Eve-ng. what routers and switches will I need?
Hi can you please guide me as well i have installed OS x86 on core i5 its working fine but CPU is too much at high so i purchased a HP workstation machine with Xeon processor to use maximum performance now following happened with my 10 interfaces all of them has equal bandwidth
1. ECMP not wokring
2. tried PCC still not working
3. even though 1gbps showing on interface i am not able to use more than 3 interfaces
can you please guide what is going wrong
You have to ibsert the license manual to a normal ros, because as I know it doesn't get verified online
Yeah it seems that way, which is why I had to paste the key I generated from MikroTik's website via Winbox.
@@TheNetworkBerg yes and I discovered if you clone a routerOS VM it keeps it license and both are activated with the same key (also after factory reset)
@@Max78224 Hehehehe wow, that might actually come in handy.
@@TheNetworkBerg I can tell you running 20 times the same VM is working
Just a friendly hint "Don't forget to reset interfaces mac-address when you clone your VM" CLI= /interface ethernet reset-mac-address numbers=0@@Max78224
thatss killerrrrrr
What is the difference between network pal and supporter? How do we join? I like your content. Most ppl run ISP's here i believe.
Heya, It's really just a scale for people wanting to contribute more. I do give out links to my lab files as a Network Pal though. I wish I could do more to give back to people who help the channel out as Members/Patreons though. Perhaps one day if I can do this as a fulltime thing!
Can I create a router in a VM in my second pc for vpn?
so I have ask you questions ESXi ?
What are advantages of using x86 instead of CHR? Both require (edit: x86 doesn't) virtualisation. Is x86 faster or more efficient?
CHR can run indefinitely on a free key with an interface limit of only 1M. Then you can purchase a key that allows 1G interfaces, there is also a key that allows for 10G interfaces and an unlimited key. I'm not sure though if certain hardware changes will break your key like the X86 version.
@@Sean_Cockrell You can always regenerate licence key. If you bought one you can always transfer it to "another" device in case of hw change. But I still don't get the idea of using x86. It's 32-bit (CHR is 64-bit). The only use case I can see is if you can't virtualise and you have to use bare metal.
To be completely honest I would probably recommend CHRs wherever possible when it comes to virtualization. As you said already the CHR is 64-bit and it was made with cloud computing in mind. Whereas the x86 comes from days when MikroTik was loaded onto bare metal when stuff like RouterBoards were not such a common thing. There are even threads over the last 5 or so years on the MikroTik forums calling for the x86 to be discontinued. For me though the x86 is perfect for testing certain stuff since I have free licenses from passing the certs and it allows me to safely bypass the bottlenecks added on my CHRs that are loaded in my EVE-NG topologies, such as I can properly demonstrate certain QoS features or do proper bandwidth comparisons when testing different tunneling protocols.
@@hit-757 routerOS can also run in x64 mode.
@@Sean_Cockrell The routerOS keeps valid as long as you don't change the disk
