Course Objectives
The MTCTCE course focuses on providing participants with the knowledge necessary to configure and manage key aspects of the network using MikroTik devices. Through the different chapters, students will learn about DNS, DHCP, firewall, NAT, mangle, HTB, queues, proxy, TTL and load balancing, among other topics.
The practical laboratories will allow participants to apply the concepts learned in a real environment and reinforce their understanding of them.
DNS
Explores the importance of Domain Name System (DNS) in networking, how to configure and manage DNS cache on MikroTik devices, monitor and delete DNS cache, introduction to static DNS entries, complete with review questions and hands-on labs about transparent DNS and static DNS.
DHCP
Details how the DHCP protocol works, identifying and configuring DHCP clients, configuring DHCP for IPv6, managing IP address reservations, and hands-on labs on DHCP server and DHCP Relay configuration.
FirewallFilter
Covers packet flow in a firewall, flowchart analysis for layers 2 and 3, knowledge about automatic decisions in the firewall, firewall filter structure, connection tracking, TCP states, and hands-on firewall-specific configuration labs filter.
Firewall Filter – Chain Input
It focuses on the firewall ingress chain, mitigation of network intrusions such as port scans and DoS/DDoS attacks, ICMP framework, ping flood defense, and hands-on labs on ingress filters and network intrusion detection.
Firewall Filter – Chain Forward
Explore the firewall forwarding chain and its application, including hands-on labs on packet filtering.
Bogon IPs
Introduces bogon IP addresses, their importance in traffic filtering, and how to configure them in MikroTik.
NAT firewall
It covers the structure of the NAT firewall, dst-nat and redirect actions, limitations of Source NAT, NAT Helpers, configuring RAW in the firewall, and its relationship with mangle, along with practical dst-nat labs.
Mangle Firewall
It covers the concept of MSS (Maximum Segment Size), how to change it, marking packets and connections in the mangle firewall, and practical mangle labs.
HTB
Explains queue colors in Winbox, HTB (Hierarchical Token Bucket) structure, dual throttling, queue priority, and typical HTB configuration.
Queues
Discusses the major changes to queuing in RouterOS version 6, general rate limiting principles, simple queues, queuing tree, different types of queues, features, and the implementation of PCQ.
Burst
Describes the concept of burst in the context of queuing and rate limiting, and how to configure and use burst in RouterOS.
Web proxy
Explore configuring a transparent proxy, using the proxy-based firewall, cache management, HTTP methods, and access lists in the proxy.
TTL
Details how to modify the TTL of packets to control their lifetime on the network using mangle in RouterOS.
Load balancing
Introduces different load balancing methods such as PCC, ECMP, and Nth Packet, including how to configure and apply each method in RouterOS.
Each chapter combines theory with practice and laboratories to ensure a deep and applied understanding of each topic, preparing students for certification as MikroTik Certified Traffic Control Engineers.
By the end
Upon completion of the course, students will be trained as MikroTik Certified Traffic Control Engineers and will be able to implement effective network traffic management solutions.
