Description

MikroTik Certified Internetworking Engineer Training stands out as the most challenging and complex course track within MikroTik. It's the sole advanced course among all MikroTik offerings, and it requires prior completion of both the MikroTik Certified Network Associate and MikroTik Certified Routing Engineer courses.

Given its complexity, I've designed this course to comprehensively cover all topics within the MikroTik Certified Internetworking Engineer Training track. Throughout the course, we'll provide explanations and conduct hands-on LABS specifically focusing on advanced subjects such as Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) and Multiple Protocol Label Switching (MPLS). These topics are critical components implemented within the networks of Internet Service Providers (ISPs).

Here's an overview of the topics covered in this course:

• What is Autonomous System (AS)
• What is Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)?
• Path Vector algorithm
• BGP Transport and packet types
• iBGP and eBGP
• Stub network scenarios and private AS removal
• Non-stub scenarios
• iBGP and eBGP multi-hop and loopback usage
• Route distribution and routing filters
• BGP best path selection algorithm
• BGP prefix attributes and their usage
• BGP route reflectors and confederations
• MPLS basics
• Static label mapping
• Label Distribution Protocol (LDP)
• Penultimate-hop-popping
• MPLS traceroute differences
• LDP based VPLS tunnels
• Bridge split horizon
• BGP based VPLS
• BGP based layer3 tunnels (L3VPN)
• What is traffic engineering and how it works
• RSVP, static path, dynamic path (CSPF)
• Bandwidth allocation and bandwidth limitation differences and settings
  

This course is heavily lab-based, so we recommend using GNS3 with the MikroTik CHR image to effectively follow along. This is particularly important as some LABS require operating up to seven MikroTik Routers simultaneously.

Who this course is for

• Engineers and students who wants to learn how to configure BGP routing protocol on MikroTik routers
• Engineers who work in Internet Service Provider using MikroTik Routers and want to deploy MPLS
