Advanced Routing Protocols on RouterOS 7

Welcome to the Advanced Routing Protocols course. In this course, we will dive deep into two of the most fundamental routing protocols used in modern service provider and enterprise networks: OSPF and BGP.

Syllabus

Why do we need Interior and Exterior Gateway Protocols?

Networks require dynamic routing to adapt to topology changes, link failures, and scaling demands automatically.

  • Interior Gateway Protocols (IGPs) like OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) are designed for routing within a single Autonomous System (AS). They focus on speed, fast convergence, and finding the shortest path using algorithms like Dijkstra’s.
  • Exterior Gateway Protocols (EGPs) like BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) are designed for routing between different Autonomous Systems. They focus on policy, scalability, and security, ensuring the global Internet functions properly.

By mastering both, you will be well-equipped to design, implement, and troubleshoot complex routing architectures on MikroTik RouterOS v7.
