How to install Mikrotik in Sun VirtualBox

Goal : In the future You can install Mikrotik in Sun VirtualBox as good

Materials IA32 Hardware & Software requirements

CPU and motherboard – advanced 4th generation (core frequency 100MHz or

more), 5th generation (Intel Pentium, Cyrix 6X86, AMD K5 or comparable) or newer uniprocessor (multi-processor systems are not supported) Intel IA-32 (i386) compatible architecture with PCI local bus.

RAM – minimum 32 MiB, maximum 1 GiB; 64 MiB or more recommended Non-volatile storage medium – standard ATA/IDE interface controller and drive

(SCSI and USB controllers and drives are not supported; RAID controllers that require additional drivers are not supported; SATA is only supported in legacy access mode) with minimum of 64 Mb space; Flash and Microdrive devices may be connected using an adapted with ATA interface.

Sun VirtualBox Mikrotik 5.9.iso

You can get various RouterBoard on the official website

So, before install Mikrotik on Real hardware, I want to explore on Virtual environment. I will use Sun VirtualBox but you can use Vmware Workstation on Windows or linux Systems.

Methode: 1

st Step Create a Virtual Machine

Open Virtual Box & Click on New

Click on Next Enter name of Virtual OS (as you wish) ex: “Hamdan” & select operating system

type ( as you wish) ex: “Other – Other/Unknown”.

Klik on next

Enter amount of RAM (64 MB is sufficient for Demo, you can increase it to 1GB)

Click on Next ( No need to change the values) Click on create new hard disk

Click on next

Click on finish

Finally We have created a Virtual Machine of Mikrotik

2nd

step Install Mikrotik

Note: Before start Machine go to Settings-> Network -> Select Network Adapter (If you have working interface LAN / WLAN then you can choose Bridge if you don’t have then

Select host only)

Start the Virtual Machine in VirtualBox Home with click on play button

Follow the Wizard & click on next

Select installation media (Physical Disk / ISO file) You can download ISO image from Mikrotik official website. Here We use mikrotik-5.9.iso. and then choose the target which you’ll be installed.

Finally click on show for execution

Select packages & press i to install & follow instructions

It will format the HDD & automatically install the Mikrotik.

Congratulations you have installed Mikrotik but before enter to reboot remove the Media or ISO image.

Now you can access OS by the console, but if you are not familiar with CLI (Command

Line Interface) then you can use Mikrotik Graphical tool named Winbox.

You can Download it from official Mikrotik Site at http://www.mikrotik.co.id

but there is problem, OS doesn’t have any ip so you can accessby the MAC.

Run the Winbox & click on marked button It is prompting you to 2 connection, just click on MAC Address Enter user name : admin & Password : Block Connect

If you getting any problem then you can assign IP Address to the OS or want to connect Winbox by the IP

Go to Virtual Machine Cosole

Enter User name : admin & Password is blank so enter

First of all check the interfaces

[admin@Mikrotik]>interface print

It will show ether1 as interface, now assign IP Address to interface

[admin@Mikrotik]>ip address add address=192.168.1.50/24 interface=ether1

(* If you are using bridge interface and you physical interface in the 192.168.1.0/24 network then you can assign this ip. If you selected Host-only Interface then assign

192.168.56.101/24 as IP because in the Virtaulbox host-Only adapters works in this network.)

Now again as well as last connect the Winbox by the IP address

This is Winbox GUI Interface.

Congratulations you have installed & access the Fresh Mikrotik OS.

Ok, finally we have finished install mikrotik on virtualbox then you can try all of the step by step following the text. I hope you will get a little help about installation of mikrotik OS.

Thank You Very Much….!!!
