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.
