Empirical Study on Network System Administration with Mikrotik Platform

Abstract

An extensive summary of my network system administration internship experience is given in this report, with particular attention to the usage of MikroTik as a platform for network infrastructure design, configuration, and management. By providing practical experience in setting routers, switches, and firewalls to enable safe and effective data transfer inside an organizational setup, the internship sought to close the knowledge gap between theory and practice. The study describes the design of MikroTik devices, their use in contemporary networking systems, and the basic ideas of network system administration. I was introduced to a variety of network design topics throughout my internship, such as traffic management, VLAN setup, IP addressing, subnetting, and troubleshooting network problems. I was able to comprehend sophisticated networking features like Quality of Service (QoS), Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), and network security measures by using MikroTik's RouterOS. The report also outlines certain projects and activities completed during the internship, including network topology configuration, firewall deployment to reduce security risks, and bandwidth optimization to improve network performance. These assignments highlighted how crucial it is to keep up a strong and expandable network infrastructure in order to satisfy organizational demands.
