With clear, easy-to-follow instructions, viewers are guided through each critical step to ensure a successful setup, laying the foundation for more advanced configurations.

Takeaways

• 😀 Mikrotik Router OS is a software-based router system that is essential for configuring network devices.
• 😀 The first step in configuring Mikrotik Router OS is to open a virtual machine application, such as VirtualBox.
• 😀 You can choose from three main options in the virtual machine application: create a new virtual machine, open an existing virtual machine, and connect to a server.
• 😀 To start configuring, select the 'open a virtual machine' option and choose the machine you already created.
• 😀 After opening the virtual machine, configure the network settings by adjusting the virtual network editor to ensure internet connectivity.
• 😀 It's important to add and configure network adapters correctly in the virtual machine settings to establish proper connections.
• 😀 To test if the network interfaces are correctly set, make sure the correct IPs are assigned and verify by running commands in the terminal.
• 😀 The process includes setting up DNS by configuring Google’s DNS address (8.8.8.8) in the DNS settings.
• 😀 You must set up default gateway (GTW) settings with the appropriate internet source gateway address for proper routing.
• 😀 After configuration, verify that the router has internet access by pinging a site, like google.com, from the terminal.
• 😀 If internet connectivity is confirmed, the initial Mikrotik configuration is complete, and further advanced configurations can follow.

Q & A

What is MikroTik Router OS?

MikroTik Router OS is a software or operating system used in MikroTik devices, designed for router configuration and management.

What is the first step in configuring MikroTik Router OS?

The first step is to open the virtual machine application. The video uses the 'Virtual Firmware' application to begin the configuration process.

What is the purpose of the 'Create a new virtual machine' menu in the Virtual Firmware application?

The 'Create a new virtual machine' menu is used to create a new virtual machine, which is the first step in setting up MikroTik Router OS in the virtual environment.

Why is the 'Open a virtual machine' option selected during configuration?

The 'Open a virtual machine' option is selected because the virtual machine has already been created, and now it needs to be configured.

How do you set up internet connectivity for the MikroTik router in Virtual Firmware?

To set up internet connectivity, you need to access the Virtual Network Editor, change the firmware settings to three network interfaces, and configure the network adapter as 'Bridge' for proper internet connection.

What does the 'Edit Virtual Machine Settings' menu allow you to do?

The 'Edit Virtual Machine Settings' menu allows you to configure the virtual machine’s settings, including adding network adapters and ensuring that the virtual machine is properly connected to the internet.

How do you add network adapters in Virtual Firmware?

To add network adapters, click on the 'Add' button, select 'Network Adapter', and repeat the process until the required number of adapters (in this case, five) are added.

What should be done after the virtual machine has been set up and configured?

After setting up and configuring the virtual machine, you should power it on and wait for the MikroTik login prompt to appear.

How do you configure the IP address in MikroTik Router OS?

In MikroTik Router OS, you configure the IP address by typing the appropriate command in the terminal, ensuring it matches the network configuration provided by your internet service provider.

What is the role of DNS in the MikroTik Router OS configuration?

The DNS is configured by adding Google DNS (8.8.8.8) and enabling 'Allow Remote Requests'. This ensures that the MikroTik router can resolve domain names when accessing the internet.
