![VyOS Logo][1]

In my earlier posts I explained how to configure Vyatta as a router in VMware Workstation. Unfortunately Vyatta Community Edition is no longer available since Winter 2013. Luckily for us community fork **VyOS **started being developed so great router software still can be used for free.

## VyOS
VyOS is a community fork of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vyatta" rel="nofollow">Vyatta</a>, a Linux-based network operating system that provides software-based network routing, firewall, and VPN functionality.

* Runs on both physical and virtual platforms.
* Supports paravirtual drivers and integration packages for virtual platforms.
* Completely free and open source.

You can download it for free using this link <a title="VyOS" href="http://vyos.net/wiki/Main_Page" target="_blank">http://vyos.net/wiki/Main_Page</a>.

## How to migrate from Vyatta to VyOS?

Installaton of VyOS is as simple as Vyatta and there shouldn't be any problem if you follow my earlier guides.

1. <a title="Vyatta – Router running on VMware Workstation – Part 1 basic networking" href="https://www.wojcieh.net/vyatta-router-running-on-vmware-workstation-part-1/" target="_blank">https://www.wojcieh.net/vyatta-router-running-on-vmware-workstation-part-1/</a>
2. <a title="Vyatta – Router running on VMware Workstation – Part 2 DNS, Firewall and NAT" href="https://www.wojcieh.net/vyatta-router-running-on-vmware-workstation-part-2-dns-firewall-and-nat/" target="_blank">https://www.wojcieh.net/vyatta-router-running-on-vmware-workstation-part-2-dns-firewall-and-nat/</a>
3. <a title="Vyatta – Router running on VMware Workstation – Part 3, Firewall Hardening" href="https://www.wojcieh.net/vyatta-router-running-on-vmware-workstation-part-3-firewall-hardening/" target="_blank">https://www.wojcieh.net/vyatta-router-running-on-vmware-workstation-part-3-firewall-hardening/</a>

In order to migrate from Vyatta to VyOS we need to save current config from Vyatta and import it into VyOS. Please execute following command: **show configuration commands** and after that you will get nice and easy to implement commands in VyOS.

```bash
set firewall all-ping 'enable'
set firewall broadcast-ping 'disable'
set firewall ipv6-receive-redirects 'disable'
set firewall ipv6-src-route 'disable'
set firewall ip-src-route 'disable'
set firewall log-martians 'enable'
set firewall receive-redirects 'disable'
set firewall send-redirects 'enable'
set firewall source-validation 'disable'
set firewall syn-cookies 'enable'
set interfaces ethernet eth0 address '192.168.255.250/24'
set interfaces ethernet eth0 description 'WAN'
set interfaces ethernet eth0 duplex 'auto'
set interfaces ethernet eth0 smp_affinity 'auto'
set interfaces ethernet eth0 speed 'auto'
set interfaces ethernet eth1 address '10.0.0.1/24'
set interfaces ethernet eth1 description 'LAN'
set interfaces ethernet eth1 duplex 'auto'
set interfaces ethernet eth1 smp_affinity 'auto'
set interfaces ethernet eth1 speed 'auto'
set interfaces loopback 'lo'
set nat source rule 10 description 'LAN to WAN'
set nat source rule 10 outbound-interface 'eth0'
set nat source rule 10 source address '10.0.0.0/24'
set nat source rule 10 translation address 'masquerade'
set service dns forwarding cache-size '150'
set service dns forwarding listen-on 'eth1'
set service dns forwarding name-server '192.168.255.254'
set service ssh port '22'
set system config-management commit-revisions '20'
set system console device ttyS0 speed '9600'
set system gateway-address '192.168.255.254'
set system host-name 'router'
set system login user vyatta authentication encrypted-password 'PASSWORD'
set system login user vyatta level 'admin'
set system name-server '192.168.255.254'
set system ntp server '0.vyatta.pool.ntp.org'
set system ntp server '1.vyatta.pool.ntp.org'
set system ntp server '2.vyatta.pool.ntp.org'
set system package auto-sync '1'
set system package repository community components 'main'
set system package repository community distribution 'stable'
set system package repository community password ''
set system package repository community url 'http://packages.vyatta.com/vyatta'
set system package repository community username ''
set system syslog global facility all level 'notice'
set system syslog global facility protocols level 'debug'
set system time-zone 'GMT'
```

In my case installation and migration took somewhere about 5 minutes.
