Description

MikroTik switching was never been important as it is now. The fact that MikroTik is doing very high performance and reliable switches, make everyone needed to know how to use MikroTik switches and how to configure them.For this reason, I have decided to make this video course speaking only about switching topics in MikroTik. I will pass through all topics that a MikroTik switch can do so you will have a deep understanding of configuring a MikroTik switching environement.In this course, I am going to focus on the MikroTik CRS3xx series switch which is the best ever switch that MikroTik has already done. I will be using real equipment during the course because it is not possible to emulate a switching environment in an emulation software like GNS3.Additionally, this course will prepare you to be ready for the MikroTik switching MTCSWE exam which is one of the most difficult exam that is provided by MikroTik.To be able to repeat the LABS, I advise you to have at least 2 x CRS300 series switches and 1 MikroTik router (HAP lite). Remember, the more you practise the LAB the better the information became easier to be understood and remembered.Finally, I hope that you will decidide to join the course and have a journey by learning MikroTik switching with me.
