This article will explain in detail how to install the VMware router. The editor thinks it is very practical, so I share it with you as a reference. I hope you can get something after reading this article.

Why do you want to build a network?

It is convenient in safety research and study. If you want to make an intranet penetration tunnel technology port forwarding, do you still have to go to a server and do it step by step? The answer is yes, but most beginners don't want to talk about technology, so they need to build an environment in the learning process. At this time, setting up your own network is more realistic and easy to get. Besides, if you write a virus and want to see how it spreads, do you find a real company to do it? If you can't control it, you'll laugh! Maybe he will be invited to tea the next day. But if you are based on virtual group network, and it is not real enough, if you get a NAT of VM, is there a router missing in the gateway?

Software environment

VMWare: virtual machine management software. This screenshot uses 14 professional versions.

RouterOS: the latest 6.4 used in this article

Winbox:routeOS configuration management software. After installing routerOS, you need to use this to set up the router. Of course, you can also use the commands that come with the router.

RouterOS introduction

MikroTik RouterOS is a routing operating system, which is based on the core of Linux and is compatible with x86 PC routing software. Through this software, the standard PC computer is turned into a professional router. The development and application of the software RouterOS soft route map are constantly updated and developed. The software has been updated and improved for many times, so that its function is constantly enhanced and improved. Especially in wireless, authentication, policy routing, bandwidth control and firewall filtering and other functions have very prominent functions, its high performance-to-price ratio, favored by many network people.

Software download

RouterOS official website: https://mikrotik.com/

RouterOS download: https://mikrotik.com/download

Winbox download: https://download2.mikrotik.com/routeros/winbox/3.11/winbox.exe

Open https://mikrotik.com/download and download software with various processor architectures, including arm, MIPS, etc.

Choose the appropriate processor architecture, select x86 here, and note: if you want to use VM installation, download the ISO image, that is, CD image.

Winbox, then download it directly and use it directly.

VMWare install routerOS

The installation of the routeOS virtual machine is the same as the installation of the general operating system in the virtual machine, but there is a key step that needs to be set. To create a new virtual machine in VM, choose custom or typical. Choose typical here.

The next step is to select hardware compatibility, default to go directly to the next step, and then to select the system installation method, and select the "installer CD image file" in the middle.

Then the next step is to select the system type, all other

Then the next step is to name the virtual machine and allocate processors and memory, just like a regular operating system installation. However, the routeOS size is only 20 M, so the default allocation of 256 MB of memory, enough, focus on the network connection type to choose the bridge mode, and then set the disk, and so on, the installation process is basically the same as other systems.

System installation

After setting up with VM, the router virtual machine will appear in the list of virtual machines. After opening it, enter the system installation and setup interface as follows. Select the software package you need to install.

Typing'a'in this interface will select all the components, and then press'i' to start the installation

The original configuration is not retained here. Entering y will prompt you for confirmation, and then enter y to start the installation, which will show the installation progress and the installed components:

Then enter key to restart

Login user name: admin, password is empty

Then prompt you if you want to see license, don't read it, just choose n.

Then go in and find that the Linux command doesn't work at all, so you don't have to try, it's a supported router command.

At this time, winbox shines out.

Winbox usage tutorial

Open the downloaded winbox (no installation is required). The interface is as follows. Click the list IP button.

If there is nothing on the list, you must want to type IP to connect, right? Then it turns out that you still don't know what the IP of the router is. What should I do? Don't worry, isn't there still Mac? Yes, you guessed right. It is connected according to the Mac address. Open the virtual machine settings and check the Mac address.

Enter Mac to connect and enter the router settings interface, which is as follows, where you can set up the router's IP and so on.

Note: currently, the router has only one network card, so you need to add a new network card using VM.

Select virtual machine settings, add devices and select network card

When it is finished, the router will have two network cards.

Commands from the router
