Mikrotik switch image for GNS3

Fri Jan 28, 2022 11:27 am

Hi,

I watched this tutorial on youtube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLtGQAQ8iS0

I still haven't understood where the guy got the Mikrotik switch image from, since he only talked about such a Raw Disk image in the Cloud Hosted Router menu on Mikrotik's software download webpage in his previous tutorial about virtualizing routerOS in GNS3.

Could you help figure it out please?
Thanks

He is using CHR image, not SWOS or similar. He is explaining Bridge configuration for CRS3xx but using a CHR image.

From GNS3 you can download CHR image from their repositories

Switch menu only is shown in devices that support it. CHR has no switch-chip inside, so you can't simulate it... and you won't see the menu option in Winbox.

Does CHR have wireless capability or just routing?
ANy MT Device can be used as a switch and most useful with bridge vlan filtering when using vlans.
