CHR 6.42.6+GNS3 = No RoMON

RouterOS Virtualization
1

Hi Guys,

I cannot get RoMON to work in CHR 6.42.6 when running in GNS3.

I can connect to the RoMON server without issue, but it cannot connect to the other routers.

Has anyone else experienced this and been able to resolve it?

Thanks.

RoMON uses a MKT proprietary L2 protocol.
The default simulated switches in GNS3 only forward Ethernet frames.

This is why you are not able to use RoMON, or other non-standard L2 protocol in GNS.

Work-around is not to use the GNS3 “switch” object to connect your simulated MKTs, but use something else to do the switching.

I have this problem too with gns3 and vmware esxi.

i used “eve-ng” before and it just works with RoMon excellent.

Hi Guys

I have the same problem now with RoMON on Vmware esxi 6.7 , RoMON was working on esxi 6.5

Any Ideas how to fix this issue?

the solution is to change the default configuration of the ethernet interface that comes by default virtio-net-pci to some intel or realtek interface I recommend using intel gigabyte ethernet (e1000)

Kudos to the quoted guy. I could not for the life of me get RoMon working on CHR’s, once I changed from virito-net-pci to intel everything is working flawlessly so far. I’m just wondering if there is anyone that can shed some light on why the virito-net-pci driver doesn’t work?
