You are doing a great job on these videos, thank you.
Easy pace that I can follow and your points are memorable, meaning I can use them later!

I am building my lab with a full Mikrotik stack. Your videos have been instrumental in my training and understanding the ins and outs of the Mikrotik world. I do wish to give you a very big THANK YOU fo your help an dclear presintation of methods and configurations.

[ronaldhaley]

Thank you. Really happy to see this today. You are the best!!!!

[traininingbits-pgdn]

You are simply the best Mikrotik trainer I have seen.

[davidmooreii]

Thanks! this was exactly the fix I was looking for. CPU stays under 35% most of the time now and I learned how to VLAN better!

Network trip . Did really well in ospf . He did extremely well on ospf . Respect to him on ospf as aswell as other lecture

[dvreshta]

Very well structured and well explained video.

Would be great to have a step by step NAT - using Fasttrack and firewall using Fasttrack guide.. with these, it almost seems inconceivable but, might one completely eliminate CCR's for CRS devices for doing most deployments? BGP?

I have a crs326. Configured hw offload with single bridge only. I see the "H" in the route list. But when I pass traffic, cpu stay very high (93%). It doesn't seem like HW offload is working. When I look at the vlan under bridge on the interface screen, I see traffic on the vlan instead of physical interface. Any suggestion?

[alimibrahem]

As always very thanksful Mr.Wilmer..! it was very informative..!
But Question to ask: why you use VLAN in your LAB..? i mean why you didn't just use the physical interface and assigning IP to it without creating any VLAN..?

[ronaldhaley]

You mention that we can only have a single bridge, but you are using ospf here as well. You recommend using a loopback bridge in OSPF. So don't we end up with two bridges here?

[zauraliyeva]

Hi sir! Great tutorial.
Will it work if I have only one interface for both up and downstream traffic?

[BudiSetiawan-iden]

Sir can explore more regarding mpls hardware offloading on mikrotik. I believe it only works on lates ccr 22xxx or 21xxx series

Just began exploring Mikrotik. Useful Vid! Heroic dose!
Can you elaborate on HW offload for inter-vlan routing security? What performance penalty (CPU) on Switch ACLs vs IP firewall + Fastrack?
I'm accustomed to L3 switch ACLs stateful TCP and stateless UDP. Can Mikrotik bridge / vlan int routing be full L4 stateful within the bridge / vlan interfaces. Or must go CPU?
I have the packet flow documentation which I need to dive into more but the GNS3 routeros image lacks the switch chip / ACLs. Likely I need to buy switch to really demo Mikrotik L3 switching. Eyeing CRS326-24S+2Q+ vs CRS317-1G-16S+. CRS326-24S+2Q+ appears more designed toward L2 raw forwarding. CRS317-1G-16S+ appears more designed toward L3/4 given it has much more CPU.

Hi and great video! Is it possible to use L3HW Offloading without OSPF? (i know, the routing must then be done manually)..

[rodrigosteinhorst]

In the case of having two operators and only receiving default routes, would it work well for the BGP border?
without a public IP on this BGP border

[biki]

is it possible to hardware offload MPLS on those devices? P PE function? if so, are you planning to make video about it?

[arebacollins]

Would be interesting to see how those CPU counts look like when running tcp tests. UDP is very forgiving...

[ErwinDrew]

amazing. if im going to use my ccr2216 to bgp peer with my upstream provider, do i need follow exactly the same procedure?

[techknight]

How would you add a Management VLAN as well as romon and MAC telnet to this setup?
