Tanks for leaving a comment!
thanks for ur kindness…it’s very usefull tut’s ^^
Vzouh,
Thanks!
Thanks a lot Greg!
Thanks… I’m new to Mikrotik and networking. I watched the Intro to Networking and Mikrotik Basics — both were excellent. I found the Mikrotik Basics very informative as it taught me “why” several of the Winbox selections are configured. It would be nice to see more videos π
Thanks again… MUCH appreciated…
You guys are the reason I do it!
Thanks for leaving a comment. π
Thanks again Greg !!
Now I need to learn about OSPF and Multicast routing to tie several Tik boxes together. π
NP Tim. That sounds like you put in a vote for the next class to be over dynamic routing…which sounds like a pretty good idea to me. π
Thanks a lot, very usefull tutorials
Well, i have to admit that this video series is indeed very helpful and handy, Thanks alot Greg. and well done!
I got a suggestion too if i may, try to represent what you gonna teach in points at the beginning of the video, that will help eliminate the “randomness” feeling watching the videos.
For the next video, i vote for Hotspot solution and/or Qos (queues)!
Thanks again π
Mohamed,
Thanks, I’ll keep that in mind for the next.
Keep up the good work, Greg! It keeps getting better. I always enjoy visiting your site. I wish I had more time to keep up on all of your content. I’ll be in touch soon.
Stan,
Thank you sir…heh. I look forward to hearing from you again soon.
Warm Regards,
Thanks
Any news on the dynamic routing topic?
-tp
Just released it π
Thank YOu Very..much..God Bless you!!!
Ha Michael, no problem π
Thank you so much! Nice work. Would love a nice video tutorial on VRRP.
Thanks Martin. I’ll add that to the list. π
Greg,
Thanks for taking the time to put these tutorials together.
I have an ipsec tunnel between a PIX and MT working fine. I need to be able to run a DHCP Relay to a dhcp server sitting behind the PIX. I can ping the DHCP server from the MT and a static IP on the interesting subnet. It looks like the MT is using the source IP of the WAN interface when sending the relay, so it does not get handled as interesting traffic. Instead it seems to use the default route, which is the internet.
Was wondering if you had any thoughts as how to influence the DHCP relay source IP..
Thanks,
Dave
Tremendous work Greg!
Invaluable info.
Dave,
Since a relay should convert your broadcast packet into a directed packet, perhaps you can enter a nat statement to cover the traffic. If it appears to be sourced from the tunnel, perhaps that will do the trick.
Alternately, you can set an additional policy that would allow the wan IP of the MTK to traverse the tunnel when destined to the DHCP server.
See if any of that works for you. I would try the policy one first. Be sure to use “unique” if you have multiple policies to the same destination and to update the acl on the pix.
thanks a lot from Colombia. your videos are great and hope you are okay. nice mood. π
God bless you indeed !! π
Great job !
Suggestion for the next video :
hotspot config with dhcp, trafic shaping, user management, p2p block, … π
Jack,
You want your cake and eat it too? hehehe
Great job Greg.
I am new to Mikrotik and actually got very confused with some topics but after going through the resources on your web site, it is all clear now. Can you please do something on bandwidth management, caching and hotspots.
Kind regards,
Glad they helped.
Those are all on the list π
I watched 3 of the videos above and they were all excellent and gave me a good understanding of MikroTik basics. However, I started a new WISP and didnβt have the time to gain a deeper understanding so I hired Greg as a consultant. He configured my two MT493s remotely including all the networks, DHCP pools, routing and security in a very short time and did it for a very reasonable price. Iβm planning to use his expertise more in the future as we grow. Thanks Greg!

Thanks Mike! π
Excellent travail merci
Hi Greg,
Nice tutorials here. Anyway, we’re looking to build MPLS network based on all Mikrotik & Linux hardwares, radios, etc. Have you tried MPLS on Mikrotik?
Regards,
Tj
TJ,
I’ve done a little with the MTK MPLS, though not in a fashion most people are familiar with. I didn’t have it traverse one MTK to another.
Thank you for your effort.
I have actualy done connection β’IPSec β Mikrotik to Mikrotik
and it worked just as you described.
I will do more today.
God bless you,
Peter

Nice tutorial, this very useful for us
Thanks for the tutorials! I’ve watched all 5 and they are great. Are you still planning one on QoS? (You mentionned that in the security one.)
@Richard
I’ve since run thin on time, though if I do another video it will most likely be a QoS one. Perhaps during the holidays something will happen…though I wouldn’t hold my breath π

Good job, this is great stuff !!!
Thank you for videos Greg, as someone new in Mikrotik and networking, you made my start easyer.Your help was big … and you knowledge and way of presenting it are great.
Greets from Vladimir
Thanks Greg!!
I’m currently getting my feet wet and your videos / presentations are letting me wade into deeper water! Would love to do a in person training. Any plans for classes in the Kansas City area?
Cheers,
Michael
Michael,
I don’t see myself in the Kansas City area any time soon…unless you wanted to organize a private training. This can be done via my training website, MikrotikUniversity.com
