I have started recently at a ISP. We use quite a bit of microtik hardware and my boss would like me to learn how to program this type of stuff. I would like to thank you for showing me the basics. I will be going through this series and learning.

Another tip is to do "system routerboard upgrade" when you are done with the firmware upgrade. ensuring the RB is also on latest firmware. Thank you for coming back to us. great work!!

Perfect stuff! Just what I was looking for.

Welcome back, Looking forward to the series man👍

thank you boss yes your presentation was very informative a big of help to all the IT guys

[gnmlhov]

very interesting way to teach. think you so much. god bless you

Very informative videos. Please do a video on running a PPPoE server on a VLAN combined with another VLAN running on the same interface for Ubiquiti Airmax devices bridge management

I love your channel. Could you make a video where you show and explain how to configure 4 public IP addresses (4x/32) on WAN and internal traffic still gets routed on mikrotik, not on ISP network?

Hi, thanks for the great video. it's exactly the situation I'm trying to simulate me for. But when I add another Mikrotik, he just doesn't take the DHCP address. He takes it from DHCP only from the NET network. An ordinary VPC will take her. When I set a fixed IP from the recent range in Mikrotik-2, I see it in the neighbors in Mikrotik-1, I can pink on it, but I can't get on it via Winbox and it won't even appear there. I don't know if something will be misconfigured in EVE NG. Could you give me an advice please?

Sir Berg, we are hoping you can include the Captive Portal guide in Free MTCNA that include vouchers and facebook login. Thank you coming from Cebu, Philippines.

Regarding SSH access to the mikrotik devices, can you limit which IP interfaces allow SSH to them?

can you please tell me how did you configure the "net" node? The one that is representing the cloud/internet!

Hello, please explain how to emulate WAN with mikrotik router. What i want to accomplish is to emulate internet using one router and 3 router connected to this one. The idea is that there is there is a HQ network and 2 branch networks, i want to make l2tp/ipsec connections from branch offices to HQ. HQ and branch offices have STATIC IPs. But i don't know how to emulate internet using mikrotik. Maybe i should just setup static IPs on every router?Basically branch office gateways should have access to HQ gateways through emulated WAN

[paulmacgiollacaoine]

Nice video 👍 Is there much work out there for a mikrotik engineer?

[mahfoudmoussa]

Thank you so much for the tutorial
Can you please tell me which emulator that you use, is it free or paid..

Hey. I recently got a MikroTik Router for a school project and I have no idea on navigating my way in getting started with the basic configuration and the rest. Checked out on how to do so, and sadly noticed the videos are old, not updated, a lot of changes, updates like Winbox64 has been made and mostly you have been very active. By the way, Nice video but looking at this and now. This video is old. I will really appreciate and be truly blessed if you could guide me in this my small project in getting started with the basic configuration. Please I need help.
