Description

Configuring VLAN's on MikroTik products can be a challenge. There are different ways to create VLAN's and the configuration differs from a MikroTik product to another.For this reason, I have created this course to show you all possible ways of creating VLAN's on MikroTik products. This will include configure VLAN's on RouterBoards using the RouterOS, on CRS switches using RouterOS, as well as on MikroTik  CSS switches using SwOS.Finding information on the internet of creating VLAN's on MikroTik products is very limited, so this course can be used as a reference in case you want to create VLAN's in your production network.Additionally, I have added a new section about the new VXLAN feature that is available on RouterOS v7. In this section, I will explain in details what VXLAN is then I will do a LAB to show how to implement VXLAN corrector on MikroTik RouterOS v7.To be able to practice all LABS of this course, you require to have physical hardwares as following:Internet service2 x RB such as RB941 or RB9511 x CSS switch such as RB2601 x CRS switch such as CRS1093 x UTP cables1 x PCI hope you will enjoy this course and I will see you inside.
