I was using a Qemu image for quite some time now but I decided to start using the CHR images, which are not available from Mikrotik.
So I downloaded a .vdi image and prepared a virtual machine in VirtualBox. Than I added it to a GNS3 topology, but than… I found I’m not able to start the console!
Here’s what I get when I start the console:
Trying 127.0.0.1…
Connected to 127.0.0.1.
Escape character is ‘^]’.
RouterOS_6.35.1 console is now available … Press RETURN to get started.
But than, nothing happens. The machine is reachable via the VirtualBox console, but my issue is that that console, does not provide a way to copy an paste commands. I just would like to copy and past my previous configs I was playing with.
Has anyone stumbled upon this?
