Why take this course?

If you are a MikroTik engineer or a student learning MikroTik, you surely require to do LABS in order to understand better what you are learning. Sometimes the LAB can go to over 5-10 routers and it will be very costly in case you want to buy all those routers.

For this reason, I have designed this course to show you how you can create MikroTik LABS to emulate MikroTik RouterOS Version 7 which is the latest RouterOS version and use them to do the LAB scenario that you want to do, and it will work as you are connecting to real MikroTik Routers, and yes it is free of charge solution.

With this solution that I am showing you on this course, you can create the LAB scenario that you want and practice the LAB that you want using GNS3 software combined with VirtualBox or QEMU and of course with the use of the MikroTik CHR image version 7.

In addition of that, you will learn how you can provide internet service to the virtual MikroTik routers which are in GNS3 so in case your LAB scenario requires to have internet service.

The course is based on LABS and I will show step by step with a very simple way how you can build up this solution to work for you.

I hope you will enjoy my course.

It was good overall. There are some topics that he could have delved into issues that students had. He was dogmatic about his methods and it was frustrating many a times.

That course was fantastic, I already bought Mikrotik RB but I just wanted an easy way to test and learn on GNS3 instead on the real hardware. That course helped me a lot and Maher is very understandable and perfectly explain everything.

I think this cource is a must before you start your Mikrotik Training. The cource was hardish in the begging; however by the end of the cource you are able to simulate various networking topologies. I definetely reccoment it !!!

Would like to have GNS3 and ROS working on current versions of ROS. Doing labs it is tricky to know if a config issue is to do with GNS3 or a Mikrotik config issue. There is a Bug with Switch object in GNS3 - does not want to pass traffic. Could not find answers on forums. Resorted to using Mikrotik object and set it in switch mode.

This course provided the information I needed in an easy to follow, step by step fashion. My Mikrotik lab is up and running, I can access all routers through winbox, and my routers can access the internet if i need to. There were 2 things that did not work out as well as they did in the tutorial. 1. Problem: GNS3 would not let me run clone Mikrotik VMs. Solution: Make a copy the vdi, then change the uuid of the copy 2. Problem: GNS3 had an error connecting interfaces on my computer to mikrotik images Solution: Run GNS3 as administrator. These errors came up for me but may not be a problem for you. Overall Great course.

Para ser un iniciado en Mikrotik encontré el curso muy interesante y ejemplos prácticos buenos. Quizás a medida de ir avanzando poner ejemplos un poco más elevados, por ejemplo, al usar QEMU, una topología más complicada.

I'm getting ready for MCTNA. This course is a really great improvement to the last labs course that was offered in 2017, which was giving me big problems using QEMU VMs on GNS3 2.1.6. With Virtualbox, everything worked perfectly.

GNS3 is remarkable software but it was developed for Cisco study so the documentation is not very helpful for those of us wanting to learn MikroTik. Maher is a great instructor and he breaks the lessons down into a step by step process that is easy to master. I highly recommend this course as a first stop to anyone studying for the MTCNA.
