Installing MikroTik RouterOS on Proxmox [DRAFT]
Introduction
To enable our subnets on Linux bridges to communicate within our labs across increasingly complex network topologies, we have to add Layer 3 and 4 capabilities to our setup. To do this, we can incorporate MikroTik's RouterOS into Proxmox and serve in this capacity.
If you're not familiar with RouterOS and why it's a fantastic platform to learn and use in your networks, check out this blog post where we cover what it is, its background and architecture, and its advantages for both practice labs and production networks.
In this lab, we're going to cover the process to install a RouterOS virtual machine (VM) in Proxmox and prepare it for use as a full-featured router/firewall/vpn in our networks.
We will be using the
