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 (22763 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!
Not sure if this is Quality…but….Greg! you Rock! serious man, keep up the awsome work, I frequent your site and always leave a better Man! hehe.
Cheers!
Hehehehe. Hey Cory, it’s been a while bud!
I’m glad I could help sir, and how much do I have to pay you again for comments like this…was it $20 a post? 😛
Thanks to your video I learned some essentials about mikrotiks, was a ‘spanish village’ for me :).
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.”
Spanish Village
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. =)
i am a beginner, i really appreciate for your effort. thank’s so much sir. (i am from indonesia)
Hendro,
Thanks for stopping by sir! =)
Nice Greg 🙂 Thanks a lot.
NP 🙂
Great Video Resource for the Mikrotik Beginner.
Thanks so much, looking forward to viewing the others.

Thanks and I hope you enjoy the others equally as much.
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!! 🙂
Glad to help sir 🙂
Thanks for the video, great help! Where can i find the slides for the class?
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?
@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.
hello sir,,
your site is very informative ,, we keep viewing your site together with our newbie techs,, this is very informative for them and for us also

Greg,
Thanks for informative video. I am a newbie with MT and have learned a lot. Can’t wait to start playing some more.
good well
well done
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.
Hi
Thank you very much for your effort in making all of these video tutorials. You helped me a lot in handling MT. Keep up the good work!

Thanks Greg,
This is amazing content you can’t find anywhere else without paying. I would have gladly paid for this.
Thanks greg, You are really doing a great job.
Great content. Thank you very much.
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.
Great tutorial on basic connectivity. Learnt quite a bit from this. I loved your other tutorial on pptp/l2tp over ipsec connectivity.
Well these are the simplest and most straight forward tutorials for the beginners like me.
I don’t know how to thank you sir!
Thank you very much!
You’re awesome!
