Most of those kinds of questions would be better answered on Mikrotik's forums though, to be honest - I'm not personally a Mikrotik expert, a network engineer coworker set up the network I'm on. I can manually change routes by modifying the route distance. When a route goes down it switches to the next lowest routing distance. I achieve failover between a few hardware routers in my unusual configuration using route distances. I don't know about failover the way you describe. No, I haven't tried to export and import configs. Details are availablein Mikrotik's documentation: Yes, the 60 days license is fully featured, you can specify the license you trial (p1, p10, P-Unlimited). I haven't tested routing speeds, and probably won't, so I doubt my server specs matter (It's an old Mac Pro cheesegrater) I only set this up for a special type of VPN I needed. that will dd the contents of the raw image onto the raw zvol disk of the virtual machine.copy the raw image to the raw virtual disk dd if=/path/to/chr/img of=/full/local/path/raw/virtual/disk e.g., dd if=/mnt/pve/foinix-proxmox-content/template/iso/chr-6.45.8.img of=/dev/zvol/mass/vm-139-disk-0.that will tell you the full local path of the raw virtual disk.that will tell you the name of the disks attached to the VM.pvesm list | grep e.g., pvesm list mkx-mass | grep 139.find the location on the local filesystem for the VM's disk:.no need to start the VM yet, just create it.

create a new VM, preconfigured for linux 2.6+, with virtio block device storage, and at least two virtio network interfaces, one connected to uplink, the other either disconnected or connected to the downstream switch, 1 core, 256mb is fine.download and unpack the CHR RAW img (, find 'Raw disk image') to somewhere you can access from your proxmox host.Didn't find it in the forums when I was searching so in case someone else needs to, they can use this. Hey all, I just wanted to share a quick writeup on how to set up a CHR VM on Proxmox with ZFS.
