Description

***This course is not officially sponsored  by MikroTik and not an authorized course by MikroTik. We are neither affiliated with nor endorsed by MikroTik. We respect the Trademarks of the mentioned company and institution.***


MikroTik MTCRE is at the 2nd level certificate from MikroTik, and it is considered in the Engineering level. This course will speak about everything related to Routing at the Intermediate level. Being MikroTik MTCRE certified is a prerequisite for the higher level Routing certificate which is MTCINE

For this reason, I have designed this course to help you understanding how Routing happens in MikroTik and be read for the MikroTik MTCRE exam.


This course will contain theories but a lot of LABS. For this reason, if you want to follow this course I advice you to have 1 PC and 5 or MikroTik Routers with UTP Cables. Alternatively, you can use MikroTik CHR on GNS3 to emulate the LABS, and which GNS3 you don't require any physical Routerboards as all LABS can be done on GNS3


In this course, you will learn the following topics:

  • More specific routes

  • ECMP

  • How to force gateway over specific interface

  • Gateway reachability check and route distance

  • Routing mark and route policy

  • Recursive next-hop and scope/target-scope usage

  • What is OSPF?

  • How OSPF protocol works

  • Hello protocol

  • Database distribution and LSA types explained

  • OSPF network structure

  • Areas

  • Router types

  • OSPF neighbors and neighbor states (DR and BDR election)

  • External Route Distribution methods (type1, type2)

  • Interface cost and interface types (broadcast, NBMA, etc.)

  • SPT calculation algorithm

  • OSPF and multicast (problems with NBMA)

  • Stub, NSSA and area ranges (route aggregation)

  • Virtual links, usage and limitations

  • SPF routing filters and limitations

  • What is VPN?

  • Different types of VPN

  • Site to site connectivity with tunnels

  • IPIP, EoIP, PPTP, SSTP, L2TP, PPPoE

  • VLAN and it's usage

  • VLAN and managed switch

  • VLAN and switch chip configuration on RouterBOARDs

  • Q-in-Q implementation



As you can see, there are many topics that are covered in this course and on each of the topics there are sub-topics. A lot of LABS will be done on each of the topics so you can understand practically how you can configure all these topics on the MikroTik.


Finally, if you want to have a global understanding of all MTCRE topics and be ready for the MTCRE exam, all you need to do is to register to my course and I assure that your goal will be achieved.

The Lecturer is awesome and good for self started but i believe there is still need for improvement and also the trainee should provide alternative ways for question and answer by the learner. E-mail or a chat box for question and answer not immediate but later for learner to gather more details while studying.

Good content, but lacks a bit of depth for the OSPF part (like ptp ospf, ospf v3, ospf using vlan interfaces, etc)

Witam, bardzo dobry kurs mam certyfikat MTCRE ale ten materiał jest bardzo dobrym uzupełnieniem bardzo dobre laby brakuje tylko openvpn ale l2tp i sstp w zupełności starczy bardzo dobrze przedstawiony OSPF tunele ipip, gre i eoip dobrze wytłumaczone, podobnie jak bcp pozdrawiam Daniel

Each issue is very well explained. Laboratories conducted in a legible and understandable way. All network issues and those used in mikrotik devices were clearly explained.

Too many redundant statements. Stick to statement of facts. You need to quit back tracking to explain it twice

The instructor missed the cli configuration. This course is mainly focus on the GUI way, not the professional way using cli. The content is good.

Sempre molto chiaro e progressivo nelle sue spiegazioni. Ho imparato nuove nozioni, soprattutto sulle VPN, grazie.

On 52.Configuring IPIP Tunneling protocol on Mikrotik you say something about GRE but there is not previous lesson about GRE . On VLAN section it would be helpfull to see configuration on SwOS. Thank you keep up the good work.

The labs were clear and easy to follow. This likely won't be the last time I review these labs. With that said, I definitely feel better equipped to manage how traffic flows in and around my networks.

Did you know until now i get 3 times lecture with subject TTL with each single you gave us new info abort TTL its good to collect them although its for beginner but its important after spend 2 hour I've never felt boring keep going thanks
