ISP Core Network Setup with MikroTik

ISP Core Network Setup with MikroTik udemy course

Setting up an ISP Core Network with BGP, OSPF, VLAN, MPLS, VPLS and PBR protocols using MikroTik RouterOS

When it comes about MikroTik, a lot of engineers use this product in their ISPs. But the question that may be asked: are you using the whole features that MikroTik is providing to you so you can provide add-on solutions to your customers?

For this reason, I have decided to build up this course and show you how you can build a core network of an ISP using MikroTik routers. I will go through configuring the ISP from scratch as following:

• Setting up BGP peers with the uplink ISP

• Publishing the public IP subnet, configuring VLAN's between all core routers

• Setting up OSPF in the core network

• Provide customers which public IP addresses allow them to go to the internet

• Providing intranet solution using MPLS/VPLS

• Assigning bandwidth speed to each customer

• Reaching each customer router using a management VLAN

All those topics will be configured in this course. Please note, I will not explain the theory behind each of those protocols, so I assume that if you are taking this course, you know how all those protocols work.

This course will be only LABS, and I will be using 7 MikroTik routers on GNS3 with CHR image. You can run the same scenario on real MikroTik equipment if you like to.

Finally, I hope that this course can guide you to run a stable core network in your ISP, and I look forward to see you inside.
