Class Video – Mikrotik Basics

This is a 45 minute video that will walk you through configuring a Mikrotik for a standard network: ip addressing, routing, dhcp server/client, DNS, basic wireless and bridging.
It also covers some of the basic services and tools.

The slides can be found here -> Mikrotik Basics (22689 downloads) .


I cover disabling ip services in my security class video, but until then for the port forwarding, you either need to disable ftp or change its port. You do this via ip -> services -> ftp. This goes the same for www traffic.

Please leave me some quality feedback!

    Drink,

    I’m glad it helped…this is the whole reason I made them. I had to google spanish village…I’ve never heard the expression. Looks like over here we say “it’s all Greek to me.”

    Thanks greg, that’s really nice of you to devote some of your time to teach us something here. I can’t tell you how many MikroTik beginners tutorials I’ve watched so far none of them was good as this one.
    You really know how to use your toys 😉

    Sacabonos,

    Thanks bud.
    I appreciate the compliment. What I really tried to do was think of 90% of what people need when doing an initial config. This class with the security covers most of everything.

    I try and know as much about my equipment as possible…I eat, sleep and breathe it every day. =)

    Greg – THANKS much! This video gave me that “I love it when a plan comes together” feeling – you helped me connect concepts together and do something practical – bless you!! 🙂

    I don’t understand why you set a “not UPS” logging rule to remote unless you want to capture *everything* on the remote logging server. So, if that’s the case, are you capturing every single non-UPS event on the remote server, and if so, how crazy are the logs for an average MikroTik box you administer?

  17. Greg / Jan 10 2011

    @Fred

    The messages dumped aren’t too bad because I generally filter some additional messages out. I ditch most of the DHCP messages and some other common messages.

    Greg,

    Thanks for informative video. I am a newbie with MT and have learned a lot. Can’t wait to start playing some more.

  20. mohamed / Jul 8 2011

    good well

  21. mohamed / Jul 8 2011

    well done

  22. Paul Verboom / Aug 28 2011

    Thanks for the video.

    It covered a whole bunch of stuff MikroTik should have in their documentation for example; the fact you can drag and drop Files from WinBox. Who would have know, much easier then setting up a FTP session.

    I feel much better about tackling this beast now.

    Thanks Greg,

    This is amazing content you can’t find anywhere else without paying. I would have gladly paid for this.

  25. Faizan / Oct 8 2012

    Thanks greg, You are really doing a great job.

  26. Gerard / Oct 12 2012

    Great content. Thank you very much.

  27. Nitin / Nov 3 2012

    Great tutorial. I almost decided to sell my RB2011 router but after watching this video, I am in love with it. Apart from some wireless issues, and slow WebGUI, I think MT devices are great.

  28. Anthony / Mar 28 2016

    Great tutorial on basic connectivity. Learnt quite a bit from this. I loved your other tutorial on pptp/l2tp over ipsec connectivity.

  29. Shufqat Bokhari / Mar 29 2016

    Well these are the simplest and most straight forward tutorials for the beginners like me.
    I don’t know how to thank you sir!

  30. Alexandru / Sep 21 2016

    Thank you very much!
    You’re awesome!
