Hi Guys, I highly recommend you follow this article on the MikroTik documentation when you are performing your initial configuration: help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/Getting+started Good luck with configuring your MikroTiks and if you are going for the MTCNA good luck with your certification!
I think the comment about Safe Mode needs clarifying a little. The configuration is applied as the changes are made, just rolled back if the session is terminated non-gracefully. So there is the potential for changes to impact traffic. It's not like Juniper where configuration isn't applied until commit. Love your content!!!!
Yeah that's 100% correct, safe mode is not a configuration mode. It's more of a safety net in case you lose your session to the MT so that changes can be reverted to presafe made .
I remember hooking up my hap ax3 to my isp... it is really confusing... MT ofc has port 1 as wan by default an on that product it is a 2.5 gbps port. Great, faster than my peak speed of 1.5 for internet... and the router I was supplied can run in a pass-through mode that disables all routing and firewall options and passes the connection to your router... cool... wait... the 2.5 gbps port is port 4? Ok... guess I am connecting port 1 to port 4.
Mac-Telnet server may either be disabled or the interface you are connecting from is not a part of the interface list that allows access. You can check out those settings inside tools > mac-telnet server.
@@TheNetworkBerg thanks! I checked, and those are set to allow the bridge. I fired up WinBox on my Android phone, and it was discovered there. So, it's almost certainly my firewall rules on my laptop. I'm allowing all ICMP types, so I don't know which one to look at. EDIT: I got a bit of help from r/mikrotik and I needed to allow these ports through the inbound side: TCP port 8291 for WinBox, UDP port 5678 for Mikrotik Network Discovery, and UDP port 20561 for MAC Telnet.

I really appreciate all the work you put into giving us this knowledge. Thank you TNB!!
Looking forward to the full series. Thank You for the course.
Glad to see you back, safe and sound.
I would love to see a step by step set up to announce ipv4 and ipv6 over bgp and how to dhcp give out that prefix across an ospf and bgp network.
Please make a video how to access your Mikrotik remotely from a different network/different location

WinBox isn't showing my router in the neighbor list. I can connect by IP.

Thumbs up!, but the animated desktop background is distracting, please remove it in next videos
Thank you for your feedback, I appreciate it and will change it to something else.
I'm waiting for native MacOS arm version of winbox...
Soon TM. Well that's what MikroTik said :P Although sometimes their soon can be a few years :C
I know pro should use terminal session, but it’s weird winbox is win-only. Yeah, I am not a pro, yesterday I installed wine first time in my life:” 😊
Actually it required rosetta for m1 chips also, but it’s working
@@TheNetworkBerg They've now released WinBox 4.0beta9 that runs natively on Windows, macOS, and Linux.It's amazing!
