MikroTik MTCNA is the entry level for any student or engineer who wants to start learning MikroTik. MTCNA is always a prerequisite course for the more advanced tracks that MikroTik is providing.
For this reason, I have designed this course to help you to get a 1st insight to MikroTik and help you to understand all topics that are available on the MTCNAtrack to be able to be ready for the MTCNA exam.
This course will contain theories but a lot of LABS. For this reason, if you want to follow this course I advice you to have 1 PC and 2 MikroTik Routers with 5 UTPCables.
In this course, you will learn the following topics:
