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 MTCREexam.

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 UTPCables. 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.
