Connecting Mikrotik in GNS3


Attaching Mirkotik x86 to GNS3.
its quite easy anyway in ubuntu you need the qemu multicast patch , you can download qemu v13 patch ( http://nchc.dl.sourceforge.net/project/gns-3/Qemu/qemu-0.13.0-patches.zip) and Qemu source (http://wiki.qemu.org/download/qemu-0.13.0.tar.gz)
please check the following post to how to patch the qemu.
(http://blog.gns3.net/2009/10/olive-juniper/2/)

Installation requires Mikrotik x86 version(http://download.mikrotik.com/mikrotik-5.2.iso) and qemu image which can be created as follows

qemu-img create -f raw mtik.img 128M

In GNS3 please check whether qemuwrapper working properly ( you need to copy 2 python files distributed with GNS3)

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 868374 2011-05-08 09:22 pemubin.py
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 34162 2011-05-08 09:21 qemuwrapper.py

if all are setup you can create the qemu host as follows.


If you want to connect through winbox please follow the following post to create the tap interface :

http://www.kbrandt.com/2009/01/how-to-setup-up-an-emulated-cisco-lab-using-gns3-in-ubuntu-part1.html

Then you can run winbox ( You need to have wine installation )



I've followed following steps to connect the Mikrotik 5.12 with GNS3 in Windows 7 , may be helpful

First Create the Image 
C:\Program Files\GNS3>qemu-img.exe create -f qcow2 mtik5-12.img 256M
Second install the Image
C:\Program Files\GNS3>qemu.exe mtik5-12.img -cdrom mikrotik-5.12.iso -boot d


3rd create the host in GNS3 ( link the image you have created in previous stage) if you want multiple host replicate the image and create multiple hosts.

proxy arp

Image
In the above diagram , both hosts don't have default routes. But both are in the same /16 subnet. When host1 tries to ping host2 will it be able to ping ? Yes this behaviour due to the Proxy Arp feature. Note: Cisco by default enabled the proxy arp feature you have to disable it manually . Check the following Debug messages "debug arp" from the router. When the Arp request for 192.168.20.101 received on the router Fa0/1 it replies with its own mac address of fa0/1. (c200.03fc.0001)and vice versa *Mar 1 00:11:43.071: IP ARP: rcvd req src 192.168.12.154 00aa.00f4.6800, dst 192.168.20.101 FastEthernet0/1 *Mar 1 00:11:43.075: IP ARP: sent rep src 192.168.20.101 c200.03fc.0001,dst 192.168.12.154 00aa.00f4.6800 FastEthernet0/1 *Mar 1 00:13:13.067: IP ARP: rcvd req src 192.168.20.101 00aa.0041.1d00, dst 192.168.12.154 FastEthernet0/0 *Mar 1 00:13:13.067: IP ARP: sent rep src 192.168.12.154 c200.03fc.0000, dst 192.168.20.101 00aa.0041.1d00 FastEther...

l2tpv3 configuration reference

Image
Reference Comparing , Designing and Deploying VPNs chap - 02 : L2TPv3 is the enhanced version of L2TPv2 protocol. Mikrotik uses L2TPv2 i suppose but it offer another similar tunneling mechanism as EOIP. L2TPv3 in cisco provides Pseudo-wire services to the customer. L2TPv3 only require the IP connectivity between peers but it can transport Ethernet, 802.1Q , HDLC, PPP framerelay etc. Advantage over MPLS is the customer having the full control of their routing domain. L2TP depolyment methods having 3 topologies LAC - LNS , LNS - LNS , LAC - LAC Following Diagram explain simple LAC - LAC L2TPv3 setup. It uses two types of messages: control connection messages - used for signaling between LCEs session data messages - Used to transport layer 2 protocols and connections Data channel Message Header having Session ID & cookie to correctly associate with the tunnel Deploying dynamic Pseudowires session 1) configure CEF - Its default in IOSs now. 2) configure a loopback in...
