MikroTik Certified Routing Engineer – MTCRE

Course Description

MikroTik Certified Routing Engineer is an advanced certification that covers different aspects of routing, relevant to larger networks and ISPs, with focus on OSPF with single and multiple areas, Policy Routing, and advance use of static routing. MTCRE Exam also covers the configuration of multi-homed devices, for Load Balancing and Failover. MTCRE is a requirement for the third level certification – MTCINE, MTCSE

 

Requirements

Valid MTCNA Certificate Number.

What is the target audience?

By the end of this training session, the student will be familiar with routing . He will also be able to configure link redundancy (load balancing, failover), policy routing, vlan and tunneling.
