ISP Core Network Setup with MikroTik
Setting up an ISP Core Network with BGP, OSPF, VLAN, MPLS, VPLS and PBR protocols using MikroTik RouterOS
What you'll learn
- Be able to build up a core ISP network
- Provide internet from the ISP using public IP addresses
- Configure Intranet using MPLS/VPLS
- Reach any customer router using a management VLAN
- Assign bandwidth speed to each customer using Queue Trees
Requirements
- Good knowledge of BGP, OSPF, VLAN, MPLS and VPLS
Description
When it comes about MikroTik, a lot of engineers use this product in their ISPs. But the question that may be asked: are you using the whole features that MikroTik is providing to you so you can provide add-on solutions to your customers?
For this reason, I have decided to build up this course and show you how you can build a core network of an ISP using MikroTik routers. I will go through configuring the ISP from scratch as following:
- Setting up BGP peers with the uplink ISP
- Publishing the public IP subnet, configuring VLAN's between all core routers
- Setting up OSPF in the core network
- Provide customers which public IP addresses allow them to go to the internet
- Providing intranet solution using MPLS/VPLS
- Assigning bandwidth speed to each customer
- Reaching each customer router using a management VLAN
All those topics will be configured in this course. Please note, I will not explain the theory behind each of those protocols, so I assume that if you are taking this course, you know how all those protocols work.
This course will be only LABS, and I will be using 7 MikroTik routers on GNS3 with CHR image. You can run the same scenario on real MikroTik equipment if you like to.
Finally, I hope that this course can guide you to run a stable core network in your ISP, and I look forward to see you inside.
Who this course is for:
- Network engineers working in ISPs using MikroTik routers
- Entrepreneurs who want to build up an ISP
