Course Objectives

The MTCUME (MikroTik Certified User Manager Engineer) course aims to provide participants with the skills and knowledge necessary to efficiently and effectively manage users and services on a network using MikroTik's RouterOS platform.

Throughout the course, different key topics related to user management, tunnels, hotspot and the use of the User Manager are addressed.

Tunnels

It focuses on tunnels and aims to provide a complete understanding of their operation and configuration. It starts with an introduction to tunnels and how they relate to RouterOS. Next, the use of user profiles (/ppp profile) and the user database (/ppp secret) are explored in detail, which are key elements in user management.

Monitoring active users (/ppp active) and configuring remote authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) (/ppp aaa) are addressed. Additionally, the PPP client (/ppp client) and how it is used to establish PPP connections is studied.

Other topics covered in this chapter include assigning IP addresses with /ip pool, packet fragmentation, tuning TCP MSS, and how to configure the MTU and MSS of PPP tunnels. Protocols such as PPPoE, Multilink PPP, PPTP, L2TP and EoIP are explored, providing information on their operation and configuration.

Finally, security-related aspects are covered, such as IPsec configuration, the use of Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP), and authentication and encryption algorithms. It also examines initial configuration, NAT bypass, and provides guidelines to ensure a secure configuration.

HotSpot

This study focuses on Hotspot, and its main objective is to provide a detailed understanding of this feature of RouterOS. It starts with an overview of Hotspot and its functionality.

It covers topics such as user configuration (Users), the use of cookies for authentication, and the configuration of Walled Garden, which allows access to certain services without authentication. Practical laboratories are presented to reinforce learning.

IP Bindings settings are also examined, allowing you to restrict access to specific IP addresses. Aspects related to the Hotspot Server service are addressed and the Hotspot Server profiles and their configuration are explained. Additionally, the HTML Directory is explored and possible error messages and how to resolve them are presented.

User Manager

It aims to provide a complete understanding of this RouterOS component and its integration with Hotspot. It begins with a description of the AAA (Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting) protocol and explores different AAA protocols, such as Diameter, TACACS, and TACACS+.

It explains what the User Manager is and what Radius is. The requirements for installing the User Manager are detailed and the student is guided through their first access. Customer management is presented (Customers) and a guide is provided to configure the Hotspot together with the User Manager.

The chapter also covers configuring routers, the Radius client, and creating profiles. Aspects related to validity and user limitations are explored. Additionally, it provides information about user sessions, logs, and explains how to monitor active sessions, active users, and the generation of vouchers for network access.

The importance of making configuration backups is reviewed and the integration of payments through PayPal is presented.

Additionally, detailed guidance is provided on configuring the User Manager in different scenarios, such as PPPoE, PPTP/L2TP, Wireless, RouterOS Users, and DHCP Lease. Practical laboratories are presented for each case, allowing students to apply the knowledge acquired in a controlled environment.

In summary, this chapter focuses on the User Manager and its integration with different RouterOS services. Provides a deep understanding of key concepts, configuration, and best practices for managing users and services in a network environment.

In conclusion

This course aims to train participants in the efficient management of users and services on a network using RouterOS. Topics covered include tunneling, hotspot and the use of the User Manager, providing practical knowledge and skills relevant to deploying and managing networks effectively.
