The output look like c:\Program Files\GNS3\qemu>qemu-img create -f qcow2 mikrotik6-22.img 256Mįormatting 'mikrotik6-22.img', fmt=qcow2 size=268435456 encryption=off cluster_size=65536 lazy_refcounts=off Step 3)Īnd run qemu-system-i386w.exe -m 256 -hda mikrotik6-22.img -cdrom mikrotik-6.22.iso -boot d -localtime Where the command create an Qemu image disk named mikrotik6-22.img with the size of 256MB. So run from the qemu install folder: qemu-img create -f qcow2 mikrotik6-22.img 256M Now we will create a qemu virtual image file where we will install mikrotik OS. ![]() In my case c:\Program Files\GNS3\qemu> Step 2) So, as the first step download Mikrotik RouterOS iso file for x86 architecture (i’m using mikrotik-6.22.iso) and move the iso file to the folder where is your qemu installed. Run an example topology inside of GNS3 with qemu machines.Download mikrotik Router OS image for x86 from here.There are only few steps and the process is straightforward Installed Qemu, I’m using version which is packed together with gns3 1.1.I prefer to install version for win 64 bit. All is running inside of my Win 7 64 bit OS.Using qemu to run MikroTIK router inside of GNS3 Prerequisities and environments Be able to make and run MikroTIK inside of GNS3 we have several ways available:īrowsing the web and supporting open and memory frendly solutions I prefer using Qemu, as it is provide small memory foot print ( ) and therefore aloows to run bigger topologies. The article just continue within the set of articles (Cisco, Juniper) how to prepare emulated software routers usable for usage within GNS3 simulator and supports the way of learning by doing. Smilarly like it with Juniper for example there are several ways how to emulate MikroTIK routers using GNS3 and make them usable for buidling advanced networking topologies.
