Course Objectives
Course participants will learn about different aspects of routing in RouterOS, including managing routing tables, selecting routes, configuring static and dynamic routes, and troubleshooting complex routing environments.
Additionally, they will gain knowledge about implementing routing protocols such as OSPF, VRRP, and PPP tunnels.
Chapter 1: Routing in RouterOS
Introduces routing in RouterOS, covering the routing information base (RIB), route selection, routing table properties, and specific functionality such as default routes, connected routes, multipath routing (ECMP), and the use of interfaces as a gateway.
Chapter 2: Simple Static Routing
It focuses on static routing, covering load balancing with ECMP, configuring route distance, using routing marks for routing policies, TTL manipulation, resolving Recursive Next-Hop, and using Scope and Target-Scope. .
Chapter 3: OSPF
It delves into the OSPF Protocol, its network structure, types of areas, routers and neighbors, exchange of routing information, route summary, OSPF network design, OSPF timers, and troubleshooting, complemented by practical laboratories.
Chapter 4: Routing and Point-to-point Interface
Explore routing and point-to-point interfaces, including VLANs, 802.1Q, Q-in-Q, VXLAN, IPIP and EOIP tunnels, and the integration of EOIP with bridging.
Chapter 5: VRRP
Introduces the VRRP protocol, examining the concepts of virtual routers, virtual MAC addresses, and owner, master, and backup roles, with configuration for IPv4 and IPv6, examples of basic configuration and load distribution, and hands-on labs.
Chapter 6: PPP Tunnels
Explore PPP tunnels, user profiles, user database, remote authentication, PPP tunnel types such as PPPoE, PPTP, L2TP, SSTP, and OpenVPN, and configuration guides, with review questions.
Chapter 7: Detailed Tunnels Labs Review
It offers a practical review of IPIP, EoIP and PPTP tunnels through a series of laboratories to reinforce and consolidate the knowledge acquired about the different types of tunnels in MikroTik.
Each chapter is designed to provide a solid and applicable understanding of the various facets of routing and tunnel configuration in RouterOS, ensuring that participants can implement effective and efficient solutions in their networks.
By the end
At the end of the course, participants will be prepared to take the MTCRE certification exam, which assesses their skills in designing and configuring routing networks using MikroTik routers.
The MTCRE certification is internationally recognized and demonstrates the professional's competence in the field of routing with MikroTik.

MTCRE FAQ
The MikroTik MTCRE (MikroTik Certified Routing Engineer) certification course is a training program offered by MikroTik, which focuses on advanced routing and related technologies on MikroTik routers.
The course is designed to provide networking professionals with the knowledge and skills necessary to configure, manage and troubleshoot complex routing environments.
The MTCRE course focuses on various topics, such as dynamic routing, routing protocols (e.g., OSPF), tunnel configuration (such as IPIP, EoIP, and PPTP), and implementing redundancy techniques (e.g., VRRP ).
Participants gain a deep understanding of routing concepts and learn to apply MikroTik best practices to design and manage efficient and reliable routing networks.
This course usually lasts 16 hours spread over several days, although this may vary depending on the teaching modality (in-person or online).
You must have good knowledge of subnetting, VLSM, OSI model, TCP/IP model, basic concepts of LAN networks, wireless networks.
Participants are expected to have experience configuring basic routers and using command line interfaces (CLI) to perform configurations and settings.
Previous experience configuring MikroTik routers is recommended, as the MTCRE course focuses on advanced configuration of MikroTik RouterOS routers.
To become MikroTik MTCRE certified, you must complete the certification course and pass a final exam. The exam is taken at a MikroTik-accredited exam center and consists of a theoretical test.
It is mandatory to have passed the MTCNA exam to access the MTCRE certification exam.
Earning the MikroTik MTCRE (MikroTik Certified Routing Engineer) certification offers a number of benefits for networking professionals and their careers. Some of the benefits include:
Skills Recognition: MTCRE certification is official recognition that you have advanced skills and knowledge in routing with MikroTik routers. This demonstrates your proficiency in designing, configuring, and managing complex routing networks.
Better job opportunities: The MTCRE certification can help you differentiate yourself in the job market and increase your professional opportunities. Employers often value internationally recognized certifications and view them as an indicator of competence and experience.
Competitiveness in the field: By earning the MTCRE certification, you stand out as a qualified MikroTik routing professional. This gives you a competitive advantage in the networking field and positions you as an expert in implementing and managing advanced routing networks.
Updating knowledge: The preparation process for MTCRE certification involves studying and acquiring up-to-date knowledge on the latest technologies and practices in routing. This allows you to stay up to date with the latest trends and advances in the field of networking.
Customer Trust: By being MTCRE certified, you can build trust with your customers or employers by demonstrating your skills and knowledge in MikroTik routing. This can help you build strong customer relationships and boost customer satisfaction.
Access to resources and community: As a certified MTCRE professional, you have access to exclusive resources, such as technical documentation, software updates, and discussion forums. Additionally, you can join a community of certified professionals and share knowledge and experiences with them.
Overall, the MTCRE certification not only validates your routing skills with MikroTik routers, but also provides you with a number of tangible benefits in terms of career opportunities, professional recognition, and access to specialized resources.
At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic (2020), MikroTik authorized all Trainers to give Certification Courses ON-LINE
However, the Certification Exam must be taken in person, except for the Renewal Exam, which can be taken remotely through the system. MTCOPS implemented by MikroTik.
If it is the first time that the exam for any certification is being given, it must be taken in person in front of the Trainer, this is by MikroTik regulations since it is necessary to verify who the person is who is going to give the exam.
On the day of the exam, the Trainer will take a group photo with the students and upload it to the MikroTik portal in order to activate the exam. If the photo is not uploaded, the Trainer will not be able to enable the exam.
If it is a Renewal Exam, then it can be taken remotely through the system MTCOPS implemented by MikroTik.
For renew Any MikroTik Certification can be done remotely through the system MTCOPS implemented by MikroTik.
For more details on the MTCOPS remote exam you can access the following link: https://abcxperts.com/mtcops-mikrotik-certification-test-online-proctoring-system/
La minimum grade is 60% over 100%.
If between 50% and 59% is obtained, the student has the right to a second opportunity to take a new exam, which must be taken at that same moment.
There is no third chance.
As soon as the exam is finished, the system automatically displays the grade.
Additionally, within the account managed by each student in MikroTik (mikrotik.com), in the left menu of said portal you will find the option MY TRAINING SESSIONS where you can view all the courses you have taken with their respective notes.
