Given Ubiquiti's and Netgate's recently hostile actions towards users and open source, this provides a great peace of mind. The major benefit of this setup is that you don't depend on some manufacturer for updates. All will probably be running OpenWrt, though if that's too limiting / buggy, I'll just use plain Linux or OpenBSD on them. The example below makes sense for my purposes and may be helpful to examine:Īdd action=accept chain=input comment=”Accept new input on tcp/8291 from computer running winbox” connection-state=new dst-port=8291 protocol=tcp src-address=10.27.0.198Īdd action=accept chain=input comment=”Accept new input from gateway” connection-state=new src-address=10.14.52.I'm currently in the process of moving my home network from Ubiquiti to an open solution with a few Mikrotik RBM11Gs to serve as APs, and will probably also replace my Netgate SG-3100 with pfSense with likely a PC Engines machine. depending on what you're planning on doing. You may also find it's a good time to apply some basic firewall rules.

You can also connect using winbox available here and discover it on the Neighbors tabīonus step: add the winbox icon so you can set it in the VM manager!Ĭurl -o /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.vm.manager/templates/images/winbox.png dfh.name/images/winbox-mikrotik-icon.png 1

You can check what IP address it was given with the following mikrotik command: 1 Login as admin (no password) and configure your new router. Start the VM and connect with the built-in VNC viewer. This is required in order for routeros to see the interface and be able to interact with it looks something like this:Ĭhange the model type from virtio to vmxnet3 Switch to XML view and locate the network card.

If you forgot to uncheck it just Stop the VMĮdit the VM (click the logo of your VM for edit dropdown button to appear) Uncheck “Start VM after creation” and click Create. Set Network to the Bridge you want to use and/or pass in any PCI devices Set Disk to Manual with Format qcow2 and Path to the qcow2 file and bus SATA Switch to Form View if you are in XML view. Qemu-img convert -f vmdk -O qcow2 chr-6.48.1.vmdk /mnt/cache/domains/routeros/chr-6.48.1.qcow2

convert it to qcow2 image to be stored in your domain cache:.

Follow the steps from your Unraid terminal.
