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
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.
Who this course is for:
- Students who want to learn and be ready for the MikroTik MTCRE exam
- Engineers who want to have more knowledge on Routing in MikroTik
