How to learn how to set up MikroTik?

Question

Mikrotik

Colleagues, good day to all!
Faced the problem of learning MikroTik. There is already Cisco CCNA, that is, I am familiar with network theory. The certificate is honest, not dump. Recently I changed my job and the task was to set up MikroTik. I about this task "broke my forehead." My CCNA was of no use. Cisco has a lot of tutorials for learning, but MikroTik didn't find anything. There are many disparate articles, but this is not the same.

Question: is there anything to learn the MikroTik setup consistently from the very beginning?

Answer 1

You need to understand whether you need an official certificate or not. MikroTik has a specific policy on this. To obtain an official certificate, it is necessary to complete full-time training from one of the official trainers. At the end of the last day of training, students get access to the test. That is, like other vendors, you cannot come and immediately pass the exam.
And now, to the point:
1. If an official certificate is not needed, then the MikroTik online course will help you.
2. If an official certificate is needed, then choose one of the official trainers. I don't know your country. The list of trainers for the Russian Federation is here .
3. The author of the unofficial course from paragraph 1 is also an official trainer and conducts face-to-face events with the issuance of an official certificate. But this is only in Moscow.

Answer 2

Those. CCNA didn’t leave anything in your head at all? Mikrotik as a router is no different from a basin with Linux, well, there is only a convenient cli. Their switches are more interesting, the 300x series may not be enough to ride the basic skills right away, but everything is in the wiki.
Yes, even CCNA is not needed, the first course of CCENT is enough. This is enough to configure any equipment based on the official documentation.
And yes, do not read anything about Mikrotik in Russian. It's error upon error.
