Set Mikrotik For Esxi vms firewalls

Sat Jan 28, 2023 8:39 am

Hello, I want to put 1 Mikrotik server in Esxi for the firewall of other servers
How can I do this?
All passing traffic must be done from the same Mikrotik server.
Thanks

You could do a physical device physically in front of the VMWare Server

You could have a RouterOS VM, and set the VM's to a private network that gateways through the RouterOS VM which has an interface both in the private network and a public network.

Configuration beyond that would be best asked on a ESXi community forum.

You make a virtual switch to which your local VMs are connected, and the MikroTik CHR also has a port there. The CHR also has a connection to another virtual switch that is connected to the external network.
You can also do the same using VLANs on a single switch.
