Use the Proxmox web interface and the Proxmox console tool to access the RouterOS console. The RouterOS console interface must be used to configure the VM. The default image presumes using DHCP but by default Proxmox is not configured to provide a DHCP server. Unlike a physical Mikrotik device, there is no direct access to configure the VM. The conundrum is that without a known IP address the system is not accessible with Winbox or the web browser Webfig interface. How to disable unnecessary services, such as telnet and ftp.How to configure a static IP address and gateway.How to configure the Proxmox guest to use the disk image file.Using this method introduces several obstacles. img disk image available at the Mikrotik web site. The wiki seems to imply the 24 hour period can be extended to 60 days but only after creating an account.Ī second method is to use the pre-built. There is no limit on the number of installations, but 24 hours? Seriously obtuse. For training and evaluation purposes the 24-hour limit can be bypassed with a fresh install.

This is a more sane method than many proprietary systems that are based on calendar days. That is, using the system for 30 minutes results in 30 minutes of usage, even when the system is not used for another week. The limit is actual usage and not calendar days. While doable, this method triggers an immediate 23 hour and 49 minute trial license usage limit. Unlike the VirtualBox image, there are two ways to install RouterOS in Proxmox. We have a test Proxmox system suitable for that. After configuring a RouterOS virtual machine (VM) in VirtualBox, I wanted to configure the same on a Proxmox host at work for others to use for training.
