MikroTik Training

With the introduction of RouterOS v7 some months ago, it's a great time to learn the standard method of upgrading the RouterBOARD operating system. Though unbelievably easy, upgrading and/or downgrading RouterOS or adding new packages to your current operating system requires a little bit of attention to details, all of which we address in this video.

Following up on our previous tutorial in which we used the Source NAT as a feature that helped resolve a disconnection for an IP address on the Class AP, we are taking a step further in this video and introducing Masquerade, a more advanced, NAT-based feature that will help you automate the NAT feature and tackle recurring network issues.

Log can give you a great deal of information about the events and conditions of a network. In this video, we have used and defined different log rules in the form of firewall filters on MikroTik's RouterOS to monitor forwarded, output, and input ping packets traveling through our MTCNA home lab network.

Logging is a great tool to gather comprehensive and much-needed information about the events and configuration conditions on your network. In this video, after a recap of the Traceroute & Torch operations, we learn what log is, what information it provides, and where can we access it in MikroTik's RouterOS.
