+1. Biggest reason why I don't use it. Can't be bothered to do 'hacks' to get a system to install...- Proper file to easily install it in VMware ESXi without having to fiddle with VMware workstation or other tools.
(either the correct .vmdk file or a .ovf file)
- VMware tools included in the image
+1 !!!Hello,
I would love to see SR-IOV support. Currently (6.36.2) ixgbevf driver is not present. This was mentioned a year ago http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php ... &start=100 but so far not implemented.

Please make new topics about each issue, do not reply to unrelated posts.Fix the P10 License, vlans over bonding has a lot of TX drops when use more than 1Mb (unresolved ticket: #2016062166000118). This problem does not affect PUnlimited license.
+1 to ad SR-IOV support!
I second the notion of being able to automate the deployment. The CHR documentation doesn't say a lot about how the initial spin-up process works. What I'd like to see, from a documentation perspective, is how to customize this process. For instance, I want to run CHR in OpenStack/KVM environment. One of the cool features of this environment is the ability to provide a "configuration drive" that the VM can use during the spin-up process. Ideally, the document would say what file the CHR would be expecting on the drive. Do you realize how cool that would be? =) Right now, it would appear that CHR, by default, has DHCP client configured on ether1; this is well and good, but it's not documented.Hi,
first of all: loving it
specific to CHR I'd ask for a way to automate deployment, be it to do a dhcp-client-request on the first interface found and get a config file specific for this box by eg requesting a tftp-file based on the mac# of this interface.
and for an easy system-reset a specific reboot-flag with "load default config" would also be nice (doing an autobackup before rebooting just in case).
disk-image-resize-support inside CHR would also be nice, in case one needs to increase the bootdisk.
thank you for this awesome piece of software,

HUH?If you don't care about having the latest RouterOS version all the time, your license is free with any speed.
You can request a trial and it will never stop working. Only upgrading will be not possible after 60 days. It is in the manual.HUH?If you don't care about having the latest RouterOS version all the time, your license is free with any speed.
So running one version back of bugfix, is free? When did that happen? Nothing like this mentioned at https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:CHR#CHR_Licensing
Oh... Ok, my bad. I was under the impression the trial stops after 60-days (like ROS and it's 24 hour limit)... That's very interestingYou can request a trial and it will never stop working.

+1 for this and I would also like to get IP Cloud feature.Fastpath/Fasttrack for CHR is pretty much the only thing I'm missing, apart from a more convenient install method (.iso?) for ESXi.
We already have that. Or you meant something different from the DNS name your device shows in the QuickSet page ?Cloud DDNS would be nice.
ohhh. sorry about that it was still early morning when I replied.Normis, the topic is about CHR...
Yes, thatWe already have that. Or you meant something different from the DNS name your device shows in the QuickSet page ?
This is strange I have extended my disk two times in Hyper-V from 128 MB to 1 GB and then again to 10 GB. All I needed to do is shutdown the CHR, extend the disk and CHR resized the disk during start.How about a way to re-trigger the partition resizing, after the first boot?
I'm evaluating using a CHR as a VPN server. I'm hosting it with a VPS with 20 GB disk, however "/system resource print" only shows 128MB. I was able to shut down the CHR and boot the VPS with Finnix to adjust the partition table, however when I reboot normally it still only shows the original 128MB.
Or is there a way to make this happen manually, by mounting one of the partitions and adding or removing a specific flag file?
+1 for ISO or OVF templatesPlease add install iso file for CHR!
It would massively easy up life for most of people(no need for separate guides and so on - just install from ISO like nearly any other system and it will work for cases like ProxMox where we don't have actual VM file but have compatible KVM).

With VMXNET3 iface fastpath/fasttrack is ok.+1000 for Fastpath/Fasttrack in CHRFastpath/Fasttrack for CHR is pretty much the only thing I'm missing, apart from a more convenient install method (.iso?) for ESXi.
Please don't ask for functional changes in this thread - it is only about CHR features!....this is on my wishlist for CHR:
- support for two-factor-authentication (for a roaming admin) on Web-UI
- post-install script securing the router automatically (disable all services) ...the last time I installed a fresh CHR on a V-Server, the bots were faster than I was able to secure it (took them 2-3secs to get a successful login)
I am not a native english speaker and a mikrotik novice, so bear with me, but I am not asking for functional changes - as you put it - but specifically for adding these features permanently to CHR only.Please don't ask for functional changes in this thread - it is only about CHR features!
Running a reset with script for initial installation is already supported!
Besides, a CHR comes up with blank config so you could have been more careful in the sequence of configuration (e.g. set the password before you add a network interface)

Lots of ideas here. Better documentation = better users. =)

I have never seen developers on this forum engage in such activity... does not mean it never happens, of course.Well, maybe the developers will see my post and agree to write such a page ( Dashboard ) for some amount of bucks?
+1Hey 👋, as vmware has released esxi for raspberry pi, can we have CHR for that please.
I know, if I'm not wrong, ARM is more faster than x86....Are you sure that x86 VM image works without any problems on arm architecture? No speed penalty?
Support stated the same, nevertheless, I do not agree.Well, expired license means you cannot upgrade ROS version. The router itself continues to work just as before.
Correct, I meant all the local functions which should work. Cloud functions definitely stop workingAt least one function did not work while the problem was active, so who knows what other functions are disabled?
I only checked IP/Cloud "Update time" and that gave me a warning that my trial has expired or something along the lines and could not be enabled.
Any real-life use case where you cannot have Internet access during initial setup of CHR?..Activation of license with no internet access..
But activated CHRs with license do contact the license server once a month. I think when they cannot do so for 3 months they get de-activated.Any real-life use case where you cannot have Internet access during initial setup of CHR?..Activation of license with no internet access..
And that is wrongI think when they cannot do so for 3 months they get de-activated.
You cannot upgrade ROS after that, that's the only limitation(at least they post a "deadline date" in the license window similar to that)
