Description
OSPF routing protocol is one the best (if not the best) interior routing protocol that many networks’ companies use it. It has a lot of features and it is very reliable to be configured on our networks’ routers as a routing protocol – that’s the good side of the story.
The bad side of the story: OSPF is a COMPLEX routing protocol to understand and to configure. Many network engineers working with MikroTik products find OSPF difficult and many of them try to replace it with a simple routing protocol which doesn’t requires a lot of IT knowledge such as RIP. That’s the easiest way to solve the problem, but believe it that RIP will become a big issue and will cause for you a lot of problems when your network becomes bigger with many routers.
For this reason, I have planned to design this course to go fully into OSPF and to show you how you can configure it on MikroTik RouterOS v7. During this course, I will pass through all OSPF topics & I will explain them in a very simple way then I will do a LAB on each of those topics to show you how you can configure this on MikroTik.
