MikroTik IPSEC Site-to-Site Guide
MikroTik IPSEC Site-to-Site Guide
The MikroTik IPSEC Site-to-Site Guide is over 30 pages of resources, notes, and commands for expanding your networks securely. The guide is a printable PDF so you can easily make notes and track your progress while building IPSEC tunnels. Included in the download are text files for each router's configuration with commands you can copy and paste directly to the terminal.
This guide uses a real-world network topology for creating secure site-to-site links in two scenarios. The first scenario is a basic link between LANs at separate locations using IPSEC. The second scenario uses IPSEC with GRE+OSPF to create secure, routed links that can scale to dozens of networks or more.
