MikroTik Network Simulator (GNS 3)

Posted by : kyuu Sep 29, 2014

Hello, and welcome to my blog . At this occasion i will show 'or more-like' tutoring (actually the main reason is to make a report for my task but because some circumstances, i will post it here in my 'new' blog so i will using non-formal language for report)

Unfortunately this is second section, but i will make the first one , if i have much time though. :))

Well.. Let's Begin~

In this section i wanna try to connecting 2 hosts/users with 2 mikrotik routers with same configuration, 2 clouds, and 2 switches.

First of all, build a topology with those devices that i mentioned before . We must have 2 loopback adapters. After we have installed and configured it, now connect all the devices with linker (look at the picture for more detail)

Topology

Like what we can see together, that topology separating two hosts which has its own router (left and right) now start those mikrotik routers until the command prompt appear and "mikrotik" text showed then set the ip address for each side. For example i used 192.168.88.1/24 for the left side , 192.168.99.1/24 for the right side, and 192.168.77.1 (left router) / 192.168.77.2 (right router)

setting ip address

After setting up an ip address for each side, now proceed to the next step, set an ip address for each host. To do that, open command prompt and type " vpcs-start.cmd " . Set the ip by typing "ip<space>*ip address*<space>*netmask*<space>gateway" then change to the second host by simply type 2 then enter, do the same thing like before just like this

Now we are ready for using winbox. Run Winbox, enter the ip address ( i used the left one (192.168.88.1)) connect and wait, If it has connected and the winbox showed, choose IP > Routes, click " + " sign then type the IP Network in the Dst. Address column (192.168.88.0/24) and for the Gateway, use right-side router (192.168.77.2) to try connecting left side to the right side . Do the same thing to the another one ( right to the left )

After that, open command prompt and run vpcs-start.cmd again. Try ping from there, left side host to right and the reverse as well. If it is replying then it means we have succeeded.

That's all from me, sorry for bad language, will edit this one for better result (don't have much time )
If i have many mistakes please forgive me, anyway thank you for reading :))
