It currently allows the use of the BGP routing protocol (IBGP), OSPF, RIP, MME.
MikroTik RouterOS supports several internal routing protocols (IGP) that are essential for route management within an autonomous system. These are some of the most common IGP protocols supported by MikroTik:
1. Open Shortest Path First (OSPF)
- Description: OSPF is one of the most used routing protocols in IP networks. It is a link state protocol that uses a hierarchy of areas to optimize routing table updates and reduce network traffic caused by routing updates.
- Features: OSPF in MikroTik supports both OSPFv2 for IPv4 and OSPFv3 for IPv6. It offers capabilities such as multiple area configuration, support for authentication, and the ability to establish virtual link types.
2. Routing Information Protocol (RIP)
- Description: RIP is a routing protocol based on the distance vector algorithm. It is one of the oldest and simplest routing protocols, suitable for small or less complex networks.
- Features: MikroTik supports RIP v1 and v2. RIP is less scalable than OSPF due to its limitation on hop counts and its simpler approach to routing metrics, which is simply counting hops.
In conclusion, MikroTik offers a robust set of internal routing options that can be configured to meet a wide range of network needs, from simple to highly complex and scalable.
