MAC addresses and Mikrotik images
Posted: Sat Jun 11, 2022 3:50 am
I've just purchased my EVE-NG pro, and it's up and running. I was able to create my topology and get everything started. I've got Linux machines and several Mikrotik routers. (V7). I've noticed two things -- I'm sure it's my fault, but that isn't helping me much
- If I attempt to use the clickable console -- Mikrotik does open up, but nothing shows up, as if it can't handle ssh or telnet.
- A bigger problem. The qemu nodes for ROS7 start, for example with 50:00:00:01:00:00, but Mikrotik has its own way of numbering MAC addresses for say eight interfaces. The first might be 50:00:00:01:00:00:01 and the next is 50:00:00:01:00:04... How do people handle this? Do I just have to create a unique MAC for each interface on each router, or do I do something in EVE-NG. This matters because ether1 suddenly becomes ether5 etc.
