MikroTik Training

In the fourth and final video on the MTCNA home lab network, we'll teach you how to configure the trainee router as well as your own trainee laptop/PC in order to complete this network diagram and easily prepare for the highly practical MTCNA tutorials ahead. In case you haven't seen our video, make sure you watch this entire four-episode tutorial and set up a very useful home course lab.

The third episode of our home lab network tutorials deals with the configuration of the WAN connection between the trainee router and the class access point. We'll talk about wireless interface modes, SSIDs, and the radio names of our two routers in order to establish the connection between them and get ready for one final step to complete this network.

Continuing the configuration of our home lab network from the previous tutorial, we'll establish our class access points LAN connection to the main home or office internet switch by creating a DHCP client and configure its WAN connection to the trainee router. Sessions 6 & 7 of our Toddler Tutorials complete the configuration of our class access point, and, in the next episode, we'll move on to work on the settings of our trainee router.

To put into practice what we'll learn in the MTCNA course, establishing a two-device home lab network is crucial. In this tutorial, as the first of four simple steps, to provide a simple guideline for creating this network, we talk about the setup of the identity of the first router in this network that is the Class Access Point.
