Hi I am interested on learning RouterOS, as i have the very basic knowledge in networking, is there anyway i can have the online training and is there anyone can share your experience about how good is RouterOS?
May i know how routerOS benefit on below setup?
Network cable are using CAT5E 100Mbps.
1 x 24 ports DES 1024R
1 x 24 ports DES 1024A
1 x Linksys LRT224 (router firewall)
1 x Dlink ADSL 2750E ADSL Modem
1 x Innacomm 3400v ADSL Modem
1 x Dlink NAS 323
besides on that, there are a lot of small 5ports or 8 ports normal switches connected to some other location for ports extension purpose.
My target plan want to improve the current network speed and prepare for future ERP system.
Even with experience running Cisco OS (many years ago) and got good knowledge in Networking.... I found it difficult setting up the RouterOS when I received by first unit. The syntax is all different, not to mention that everything is "manual" setup, including NAT, which is like auto on most "home routers"
Nowadays, they have some standard pre-set mode, which makes it easier. But I would reckon you would need to have good knowledge in Networks first, before attempting to use RouterOS.
If you are running ERP over LAN network, I doubt the RouterOS can help much, since its all LAN (unless you want to do QOS/queue). However if you want to setup Firewall, VPN or other services, I believe RouterOS can help you. But setup is not gonna be easy....
Be patient, and google for sample scripts, and work your way....
