Frequently Asked Questions

Is MTCRE a mandatory prerequisite? +
Yes. MTCINE requires both valid MTCNA and MTCRE. This is the only Level 3 certification in the MikroTik system — OSPF and VPN knowledge from MTCRE is essential foundation for BGP and MPLS.
How is MTCINE different from MTCRE? +
MTCRE focuses on OSPF, VPN tunnels, static routing — enterprise and mid-size ISP scale. MTCINE covers BGP, MPLS, VPLS, Traffic Engineering — ISP backbone and carrier-grade scale. MTCRE is internal routing, MTCINE is inter-networking.
Is MTCINE relevant for non-ISP engineers? +
Yes. Large enterprises with multiple branches need MPLS L3VPN instead of traditional VPN, BGP multihoming for WAN redundancy, and traffic engineering for bandwidth optimization. MTCINE knowledge applies to any large-scale network.
Does BGP content cover RouterOS v7? +
Yes. The course covers both RouterOS v6 and v7. BGP configuration in v7 has significant changes — the trainer analyzes differences and guides the detailed migration path.
