I dont use V7 at all in my core network, just for testing purposes and some chr's for wireguard vpn's. Do you have any luck interconnecting v7 and v6 with mpls and vpls over it?
i built this same setup recently but cpi;d not get the customer devices to reach each other without adding firewall rules. can you see if you have the same experience? also im using a RR and its working perfectly.
That is a good lab because I can configure MPLS after this video know I can thanks again ❤️
I have a collection of Mikrrotik equipment that I am going to install in my home Office enviorment as soon as it all gets here. You are an amazing instructor and you have instilled the knowledge for me to attempt my configuration.Thank you!

You are a godsend, your content helps a lot in my network admin tasks
I wish BGP RR was working as I have a couple dozoen routers I would love to deploy this to. I hope Mikrotik adds BGP EVPN AFI support as well.
thank you for these video . this is Christmas bonus
thank you for these videos. this is Christmas gift, keep going,
This is all very nice. The issue we ran into is that it seems if you want MPLS/VPLS on top of M-LAG that does not work. We suspect that the reason is how MikroTik decided to make the M-LAG implementation using a bridge instead of expanding the bond interface type. But if someone ever tried and succeeded with MPLS + M.LAG, please let me know.
Will see if I can get a lab running on this, I think as BGP and MPLS matures more on v7 it should work. There are still plenty of things that just doesn't do what it's supposed to. Make sure to let MT support also know of it so that they can possibly help you are fix it in the software
Nice content sir thank u
YES! thanks jonny for that. need to watch it couple of times i guess to "absorb" everything xD
waited hard on that one. thank you and a happy new year!! 🍺🍺
Happy new year :D 🍺!
@@TheNetworkBerg as i am tapping into MPLS/VPLS ... is it possible to just route/transport data via mpls routing without any VPLS spanning?
so i want to use mpls to be used as my routing/forwarding protocol
if so, how to verify packets/data is forwarded via MPLS instead of normal routing/forwarding?
Thanks for the video!
Your video helped me a lot as MikroTik’s official RouterOS v7 documentation doesn’t seem complete yet.
Nice Cyberpunk Shirt :D
¡Gracias!
Thank you for your support of the channel ^^!
love from india
Nice lab, have you tried running a PE-CE routing protocol (OSPF or BGP) so that customers can advertise routes dynamically. Keep up the good work mate I really enjoy your content :)
Yes, this is typically what I use in my dayjob in the actual ISP network I look after :) Can maybe see to build on with this lab with using EBGP for dynamic routing to customer sites.
Thanks for the video. Can you tell me is OSPF resets any time you make a change still like in version 6? For example currently when you change the path cost it resets the entire connection instead of just updating the path cost. They claimed this would be resolved in version 7. Please advise if you can.
Nice vid. Did you try MPLS ECMP using RoS7? I'm trying a BGP Free Core lab using RoS7 + NE8k as RR, my upload is being balanced but the download runs only in one interface
Hello, it seems input/output filters for vrfs seem different on ROSv7, drop down menu for filters does not show the filter rules created like in v6 in winbox. Do you please have any idea how this is done on ROSv7?
Great video! Have you tried using a Route Reflector? I have read about problems in the operation using ROS v7 as RR.
Yes, sadly RR's doesn't currently work correctly.
@@TheNetworkBerg On v7, but i believe RR works correctly on V6?
@@olusholaosuloye8660 Yes RR works fine on v6 for MPLS services. This is one of the main reasons why I still use v6 in my own real network.
Hi, followed step by step but im not seeing the additional route in the cust1 routing table after adding the BGP VPN settings
Great work but you could have used P1 as a route-reflector, it's more scalable that way if you need to increase the size of the topology plus it's pretty standard
Yes I completely agree with you, at the time of making the video route reflectors were still finicky on v7, to be fair I still have problems with route reflectors on my labs with v7. If you want to use RRs I think sticking with v6 for the time being is a smarter choice. Once RRs work correctly I will cover that setup in another video as well :)
@@TheNetworkBerg How's your experience now, 8 months later?
but how do you make all of this applicable across WANs? Something that allows ospf sessions is needed!
38:33 but that I can also without spanning VRFs around. Only with normal BGP Routes, then the CPEs must have a BGP Session with the PEs but is that the only difference?
Hmm, I have built almost the same topology as you.
Ping from pe1- to pe2 works fine when using the cust1vrf and cust1 ipaddress.
But one thing that I dont get working is when pinging from "cpe1wan" to "cpe2wan" I get no ping reponse...
Using gns3 and wireshark I can see that the outgoing packet from pe1 is not being labeled in mpls, it is instead routed out normally via ip??
routing tables in vrf look good,
i'm pretty sure that RR does work, but u need to play with the filters.
i got lab (v7.4) abouth that, happy to share with u.
That would be great, I am very curious how filters would fix this when they aren't needed in a meshed ibgp setup. Very strange, but maybe another one of those MikroTik quirks.
@@TheNetworkBerg done i'll send it to u (that would be in 2 weeks,i'm away from my vm)
How can you connect all the mikrotik router inside eve-ng without setting management interface? Please share the details.
35:23 why the route from PE2 doesn't has the little 'b' for BGP Route, why it has the little 'y' for copied route? From where was the route copied?
Crazy, I must set MPLS Interfaces in the MPLS Window for get a not-working MPLS Network! It doesn't works also yet
Can somebody know why a MIPSBE router fall in kernel failure with VPLS while on the other side the ARM based Mikrotik router works well (only VPLS fail because of the reboot on the other side). With EoIPv6 no reboot.
How to install openwrt in mikrotik docker(container)
19:40 you don't need to add "MPLS Interfaces"? (Not only under "/mpls/ldp/interfaces" also under "/mpls/interfaces"?)
Hi TNB. Can I run OPENWRT on MikroTik on container?
It was only possible in older metarouter for mipsbe boards as far as my knowledge goes
the gigachad ahaha
But that construct *only* can't be used to give Internet to the customers or?
use ansible for 100+ routers automation :)
Ansible definitely makes it easy to orchestrate to 100 routers :), I would probably still suggest using it even with a Router Reflector in the mix :D.
I would love to watch the video rn, but sadly I have to download it first, fix the audio EQ, then render it. :-( the lows are boosted way to much and sounds very unnatural that I could listen to it for 40minutes. This is called war fatigue.
Oh crap, sorry about that! I was also playing around with some settings on Audacity for the mixing during the lab. Could also be a filter I had left on with OBS that could have done this with the postedit in Audacity :( Thanks for letting me know though! It's hard for me to pick up things like this while I am editing and hearing my own voice on feedback the entire time so I do appreciate it and will ease back on some of those bass boost effects!
Can you make easy video about MPLS, VPLS, OSPF and expalining it in an easy way? All Video are incredible long and its hard to understand the princinples. Not explaiing every detail, just to give a general overlook. Same for BGP, after watching hours of videos, all I know is BGP is something ISP do. But the principles are still unclear.
Hello sir.
Can you make a video on ip management cuz if I start my own ISP, I will get 100 to 500 IP how should I manage it. For olt PPPoE ,static , dynamic, source nat and so on plz make video on it. And with one public IP how many privates IP can access the internet.
I don't understand anything of that advanced BGP configuration, I can configure a basic BGP Session between 2 Routers and there are speak about their routes,nur that is so advanced I can't understand now
Great tutorial, but seems that the provider should not need to know the customer routing information (172.xx.yy.zz). It just seems like it would be a support nightmare.
With MPLS, I'd just as soon connect the customer sites via VPLS (L2) instead and not worry about VRF.
VPLS is definitely a solution, however, MPLS in this manner is very common for ISPs that manage the customer's networks and provide cloud & internet services. All customer routing information is stored within its own VRF it actually makes supporting a customer a lot easier as you will be working and troubleshooting network issues within their VRF. There is no worry for overlapping subnets as this all exists in that customer's VRF and their route distinguisher.
if you add OSPF in the customer handoff vrf it solves the problem of the carrier not needing to manage ever changing routes etc.
