Explore the advanced routing capabilities of MikroTik RouterOS in this comprehensive course. Topics such as iBGP/eBGP, MPLS, VPLS, and VRF will be extensively covered, supplemented with hands-on labs.

Course Prerequisites: Participants must hold valid MTCNA and MTCRE certificates.

Target Audience: Network administrators, integrators, managers, and individuals seeking a deeper understanding of RouterOS’s advanced routing functionalities. Prior experience with MikroTik, ideally at least one year of daily engagement, is highly recommended.
