About This Certification

The Mikrotik Certified Network Associate (MTCNA) certification is designed to validate a candidate's ability to configure, manage, and troubleshoot MikroTik routers. This certification covers a comprehensive range of topics essential for network engineers and technicians. Participants will gain an understanding of RouterOS, including initial configuration, access methods such as WinBox, WebFig, and command-line interface (CLI) principles. The certification also delves into the setup and management of DHCP servers and clients, bridging concepts, and static and dynamic routing techniques. Additionally, candidates will learn about wireless networking, including configuration of access points, stations, and wireless security protocols. The certification further explores firewall principles, including connection tracking, NAT, and firewall filters, as well as Quality of Service (QoS) configurations. Tunneling protocols such as PPPoE and PPTP are also covered, along with various RouterOS tools for monitoring and network management. By achieving the MTCNA certification, professionals demonstrate their capability to effectively support corporate networks and client CPEs for WISPs and ISPs.
