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 Vyatta, 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 http://vyos.net/wiki/Main_Page.
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.

- https://www.wojcieh.net/vyatta-router-running-on-vmware-workstation-part-3-firewall-hardening/
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.

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