Great to see the huge interest in the CHR RouterOS images.
Please post what you would like to see in the CHR images, or web administration side.
-
Proper file to easily install it in VMware ESXi without having to fiddle with VMware workstation or other tools.
(either the correct .vmdk file or a .ovf file) -
VMware tools included in the image
Hello,
I would love to see SR-IOV support. Currently (6.36.2) ixgbevf driver is not present. This was mentioned a year ago http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/problem-with-mount-point/94/1 but so far not implemented.

+1. Biggest reason why I don’t use it. Can’t be bothered to do ‘hacks’ to get a system to install…
The whole “hack” needed to get ESXi compatible image is just a single command, that’s not so bad. But yeah, I don’t understand, why MikroTik doesn’t use it and release images that would work for everyone without fiddling with anything.
+1 !!!
I would like to see two things:
1st - an ISO install boot image (just like the x86 32-bit ROS).
Where the installer can then select their own size of hard disk.
On a prior CHR I was testing, I ran out of hard disk space when testing packages.
2nd - licensing similar to all other Mikrotik ROS products - instead of a subscription based license.
I would like to license and forget instead of having to track a subscription license.
I hesitate to install any products that use a subscription based license.
I suspect these two feature request could drive up the popularity and install base for all physical and virtual environments and make it much more easy to install/configure.

You can set the system disk capacity before first run.
You can buy perpetual license that is even transferable to other chr if you need it in the future.
Support for Citrix XenServer.
Fix the P10 License, vlans over bonding has a lot of TX drops when use more than 1Mb (unresolved ticket: #2016062166000118). This problem does not affect PUnlimited license.
+1 to ad SR-IOV support!
Please make new topics about each issue, do not reply to unrelated posts.
Hi,
first of all: loving it 
specific to CHR I’d ask for a way to automate deployment, be it to do a dhcp-client-request on the first interface found and get a config file specific for this box by eg requesting a tftp-file based on the mac# of this interface.
and for an easy system-reset a specific reboot-flag with “load default config” would also be nice (doing an autobackup before rebooting just in case).
disk-image-resize-support inside CHR would also be nice, in case one needs to increase the bootdisk.
thank you for this awesome piece of software,

I’d love DNS Request routing. This means that the DNS-Service of RouterOS shall redirect its DNS-Request upon a certain rule set (eg. DNS prefix or suffix) to another DNS Server
Example with Sophos UTM
https://community.sophos.com/kb/de-de/123099
This feature would allow hierachical DNS-Setups with Mikrotik. (any site gets its own DNS-space and its own DNS-server)
I second the notion of being able to automate the deployment. The CHR documentation doesn’t say a lot about how the initial spin-up process works. What I’d like to see, from a documentation perspective, is how to customize this process. For instance, I want to run CHR in OpenStack/KVM environment. One of the cool features of this environment is the ability to provide a “configuration drive” that the VM can use during the spin-up process. Ideally, the document would say what file the CHR would be expecting on the drive. Do you realize how cool that would be? =) Right now, it would appear that CHR, by default, has DHCP client configured on ether1; this is well and good, but it’s not documented.
Lots of ideas here. Better documentation = better users. =)
For now, the thing missing is a 100M licence.
I have 5 pfSense systems I’d like to migrate to CHR, but $45 / VM is a bit too much, especially since VMs are 5EUR / VM and are capable of forwarding <100Mbit/s.
So, say a $10 for 100M would be great. I could be called “p0.1”… 
If you don’t care about having the latest RouterOS version all the time, your license is free with any speed.
HUH?
So running one version back of bugfix, is free? When did that happen? Nothing like this mentioned at https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:CHR#CHR_Licensing
You can request a trial and it will never stop working. Only upgrading will be not possible after 60 days. It is in the manual.
Oh… Ok, my bad. I was under the impression the trial stops after 60-days (like ROS and it’s 24 hour limit)… That’s very interesting 
Interesting indeed…
Thank you!
