How to Limit VLAN Traffic Speed on a MikroTik router

This guide explains how to control or limit VLAN bandwidth on a MikroTik router using different methods.

Foundations of the MTCRE (MikroTik Certified Routing Engineer) - Module 0

Module 0 lays the foundation for the MTCRE course. You’ll set up EVE-NG, install MikroTik CHR, and build a base topology. This module ensures you can access routers via Winbox/SSH and are ready to dive into advanced routing, OSPF, VLANs, tunnels, and redundancy in later modules.

Foundations of the MTCRE (MikroTik Certified Routing Engineer)

The MTCRE (MikroTik Certified Routing Engineer) builds on the MTCNA, focusing on advanced routing concepts. It covers static and dynamic routing, OSPF, tunnels, VLANs, and redundancy techniques. This certification equips engineers to design and manage scalable, resilient routed networks.
