Hyper-V integration components

RouterOS Virtualization
101

They have community edition (it’s free)
And some open source forks http://vyos.net/wiki/Main_Page

it’s a pity that Mikrotik ignores virtualization that way :frowning:

102

3 month bump.
has their been any change in Mikrotik stance on hyper-v now that is has become an industry leader?

If not is ROS 7 going to be based on kernal 3.4 ?
when can we expect a ROS 7 alpha / beta? So the users of hyper-v and feal some love.

103

Sorry, no news regarding Hyper-V component integration in RouterOS. Not implemented. Not planned.

104

is ROS 7 going to be based on kernal 3.4 ?

105

Hello is there any one who is using Mikrotik RouterOS with VMware Vsphere 5.1.
I am using vsphere but there is a issue that VMNET3 network adapter is not suppoted in Mikrotik due to which we are unable to control CPU.

106

Yep, only legacy adapter at esxi. No upgrade :frowning:
But it works… And pretty stable.

107

I have one more issue that when mikrotik get 100Mbps data its high internal loop back interface response like 40 60 MS.
do any buddy know how to control this ?

108

Hello,
Wanted to keep this thread alive and see how we can champion feature requests.

Mikrotik support for Hyper-V would allow me to have a single networking architecture across both physical and virtual environments, I imagine many customers are in a similar situation.

109

Just an update for people trying to get tick to work in hyper-v

installing the latest version of hyper-v 2016 aka tech server preview 2 their is no change.

110

+1 for hyperv support

111

so thought this was kinda interesting… figgured id share it here…




has mikrotik made any new decisions related to adding driver support for hyper-v ?
this topic has been requested for 4+ years…

based on the stats and based on what the customers are asking for can we get hyper-v drivers on the supported list? or at the very last allow traffic to pass… as the legacy nic’s inside hyper-v do show up just dont pass data.

112

The company that I work for has been purchased by another. The stack that they use is VMWare based. Again, MT doesn’t officially support VMWare even though RoS does work well on it.

I’m forced to reconsider using MT because I’d need them to support me if I had issues. I can’t believe that MT is so far behind in the virtualization game.

They’re simply losing out due to their ignorance of customer needs. Such a pitty because RoS is awesome!

Please MT, allow us to wake up from this nightmare!

113

Another bump for this age old topic. I suppose I have a few asks (frankly as a paying MikroTik customer):

  • What is your roadmap for virtualization support (and specifically Hyper-V)
  • As a customer, how do I properly and formerly request features and shape your Roadmap? (I work for a large software company, customer input greatly influences business decisions in conjunction with industry trends).

Thanks!

Hello,
I was reading the changelog of RouterOS v6.31rc14 and I noticed this…

*) chr - added support for HyperV fast ethernet

It talks about HyperV fast ethernet so I think that the synthetic network adapter is still unsupported but maybe it can be a sign that MikroTik is working to officially support HyperV in the future.

Someone already tried the v6.31rc14 on HyperV?

Thanks in Advance,
Davide

UPDATE: I just tried v6.31rc14 and I can confirm that HyperV legacy network adapter (Fast Ethernet) seems to work properly, the synthetic network adapter is still unsupported.

115

Hello,
I can confirm too.
After many years RouterOS seems to work on Hyper-V hosts :slight_smile:

116

Thank you Mikrotik! :smiley:

This is great news! Finally we can retire the specialized VM hosts just for routeros and integrate it into our existing Hyper-V environment!!

118

So far my tests on the release candidate are giving very positive results. Performance is amazing on a single Xeon core. I only gave the VM 128MB ram and a 1GB disk but WOW!

With VLANs the sky is the limit now :smiley:

Thanks again Mikrotik!

119

Hello,
I hope that MikroTik support team will add HyperV synthetic network adapter drivers since FastEthernet can be a limit. I read that they added also the drivers for VMXNET3 adapter for VMware so I think that support for synthetic network adapter is on their roadmap. I think that MikroTik is working actively to enhance RouterOS to work on the most popular hypervisors since on the forum Normis announced officially the “Cloud Hosted Router” project.

I missed that note in the change log. I’m so impressed that they added it. Will test on our VMware stack soon and post results.

Thanks again MT!
