Is the RouterOS Trial limited to 1 physical Interface?
Hi Folks, Wanted to save a drive to Sydney, so thought I'd just install up RouterOS in a VM in XenServer, then if it worked, buy a license. (Otherwise it'll be a drive to install an RB951). Having an issue though, I just can't get it to see more than one interface. Is that a limitation of an unlicensed install, or is it RouterOS not liking XenServer?

Hi Damien With the trial license there's no limitations for 24 hours, but with the L1 license there's limitations, but not on Ethernet interfaces. I've got several VMs running in VMWare, and while it doesn't allow me to install VMWare tools, it works fine. I haven't tried it on XenServer, but the first thing I'd try is changing the virtual ethernet interface to emulate a different network card. Not sure if that'll help, but worth a try.

Thanks Russell, That got me thinking, and I realised - I'd added the second NIC after the initial install. I'd force rebooted the VM, and reinstalled incase that was why it wasn't seeing the VM - but had not actually forcibly powered it off and back on. Shows how often I try to add an extra NIC to a HVM VM :) Now I can move a heap of internal stuff off my CCR1009 and quite seriously simplify its config :) Regards, Damien On 14 December 2014 at 20:09, Russell Hurren <russell@zeropointnetworks.com> wrote:
