Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) remains one of the most critical interior gateway protocols in enterprise networking, delivering dynamic routing capabilities that scale from small offices to massive corporate infrastructures. For network engineers and system administrators working with MikroTik equipment, mastering OSPF implementation is not just a technical necessity—it’s a strategic advantage. MikroTik’s RouterOS offers…
Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) stands as the backbone of internet routing, serving as the critical protocol that enables different Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to exchange routing information seamlessly. As the internet continues to expand, the demand for reliable, scalable, and cost-effective routing solutions grows in parallel. This is where MikroTik routers have carved out a…
Routing is the backbone of any network—ensuring that data is forwarded from one network to another in the most efficient manner possible. MikroTik RouterOS provides powerful routing capabilities for both small and large-scale enterprise environments. In this guide, we’ll cover how to configure both static and dynamic routing on MikroTik devices using practical examples and…
The Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) is a network communication protocol that provides a way to have a fault-tolerant default gateway (router) on a network. This blog post will delve into the details of VRRP, its workings, and its advantages. What is VRRP? VRRP is a protocol that helps us eliminate the single point of…
Routers are the silent architects behind the seamless flow of data in the complex world of networking. In this blog post, we will embark on a journey to uncover the importance of a router in networking. We’ll explore how routers align with the OSI model, demystify the routing process, draw parallels between routing and the…
