About This Certification
The MikroTik Certified Routing Engineer (MTCRE) certification assesses an individual's ability to effectively manage and troubleshoot routed network configurations using MikroTik RouterOS. This certification covers several key areas, starting with static routing, where candidates learn about more specific routes, ECMP, and gateway configurations, including reachability checks and route distance. It also involves understanding routing marks and policies, as well as recursive next-hop and scope usage. In the Point to Point Addressing domain, candidates focus on configuring point-to-point addresses, which is essential for establishing direct connections between network devices. The VPN section delves into the fundamentals of virtual private networks, exploring various types such as IPIP, EoIP, PPTP, SSTP, L2TP, and PPPoE. This section also covers site-to-site connectivity, VLAN usage, QinQ implementation, and switch chip configurations on RouterBOARDs. The OSPF domain is comprehensive, examining the workings of the OSPF protocol, including hello protocols, database distribution, and LSA types. Candidates learn about OSPF network structures, areas, router types, and neighbor states, along with external route distribution methods and interface costs. The certification also tests knowledge of OSPF multicast challenges, stub and NSSA areas, virtual links, and routing filters.

Static Routing
Which protocols can be used with the "check gateway" function while creating a route to ensure the gateway address is reachable?
- ICMP
- UDP
- MNDP
- ARP
What's the default value for 'target-scope' in a static route?
- 30
- 10
- 1
- 255
When configuring a static route, it's important to add both the gateway and the interface.
- True
- False
Point-to-Point Addressing
When sending out an ARP request, what type of address does an IP host expect in response?
- IP address
- MAC Address
- VLAN ID
- 802.11g
What kind of addressing scheme is usually used for a point-to-point link?
- /31 subnet
- /24 private subnet
- /32 address on each side of the link
- /30 subnet
Which of these addresses are specifically for Point-to-Point connections?
- Address=10.0.0.1/32 network=10.0.0.254
- Address=10.0.0.1/24 network=10.0.0.0
- Address=1.1.1.1/32 network=10.0.0.0
- Address=10.0.0.1/32 network=10.0.0.0
VPN & VLANs
A MikoTik PPPoE Server can be used only within a broadcast domain, that is, users can not run PPPoE protocol with a server if there is a router between the customer and that PPPoE server.
- True
- False
Choose the correct possible setups
- (PPPoE over PPTP) over EOIP
- (PPPoE over EoIP) over PPTP
- (PPTP over PPPOE) over EOIP
- (PPTP over EOIP) over PPPOE
Creating a configuration where VLAN and PPTP interfaces are bridged together is possible.
- True
- False
OSPF Dynamic Routing
What could be a valid area ID for a newly created OSPF area named "area1"?
- 1.2.3.4
- 0.0.0.0.
- 0.0.0.1
When setting the NBMA (Non-Broadcast Multi-Access) network type in OSPF, what additional configuration is necessary?
- Neighbors
- Neighbors ID for each virtual link
- OSPF interface
- Area for each range
Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is a type of:
- Hybrid routing protocol
- Link state routing protocol
- Distance vector routing protocol
