MikroTik processes entries in the Access List and Connect List in the order they are listed — from top to bottom. This is referred to as “sequence order.” The first rule that matches the client’s MAC address and interface conditions will be applied, and no further rules are evaluated after a match.
Incorrect options:
A. Signal strength can be used as a condition, but is not the order of evaluation.
C. Random order is never used in rule-based systems.
D. Interface names are used as match conditions, not ordering criteria.
MTCNA Wireless Module – Access and Connect List Order:
“Rules are checked from the top of the list down. The first matching rule is applied, then processing stops.”
René Meneses Guide – Wireless Security and MAC Filtering:
“Sequence matters. If multiple rules could apply, only the first one is enforced.”
Terry Combs Notes – Wireless Filtering:
“Don’t misplace rules. Connect-list and access-list are evaluated in listed order.”
Answer: BQUESTION NO: 59 [Queues – QoS]
Simple Queue number 0 defines 2M for upload and download for target IP 10.10.0.33.
Simple Queue number 1 defines 4M for upload and download for the same target IP 10.10.0.33.
Client 10.10.0.33 will be able to obtain:
A. 6M upload/download
B. 0M upload/download
C. 4M upload/download
D. 2M upload/download
Answer: D
In MikroTik RouterOS, when multiple simple queues are configured for the same target (IP address), only the first matching queue in sequence is processed. This means that:
If queue 0 (2M) comes before queue 1 (4M), the 2M limit will be enforced.
The second queue is ignored, even if it provides a higher rate.
MikroTik does not sum the bandwidth of multiple queues. The first applicable queue (based on order) wins.
MTCNA Course Manual – Simple Queues:
“Simple Queues are matched top-down. Only the first matching queue is applied per packet.”
René Meneses MTCNA Guide – QoS Queue Behavior:
“Queue order matters. The first rule that matches is the one used. Lower queues override lower ones if placed first.”
Terry Combs Notes – Queue Troubleshooting:
“If two queues match the same IP, only the first is active. Don’t stack queues unless using a queue tree.”
Answer: DQUESTION NO: 60 [RouterOS Packages]
Which features are removed when the advanced-tools package is uninstalled?
A. neighbors
B. LCD support
C. ip-scan
D. ping
E. netwatch
F. bandwidth-test
Answer: C, E, F
The advanced-tools package in MikroTik RouterOS contains a set of diagnostic and monitoring tools. If this package is removed, the following features are lost:
ip-scan →✅Used for scanning IP ranges to discover hosts
netwatch →✅Monitors host availability and runs scripts on status changes
bandwidth-test →✅Used to measure throughput between MikroTik devices
Incorrect options:
A. neighbors → Part of the main system package (MAC discovery)
B. LCD support → Tied to specific hardware; not affected by advanced-tools
D. ping → Part of the base system package
MTCNA System Tools Section – Package Breakdown:
“The advanced-tools package includes netwatch, bandwidth-test, and ip-scan. These are not part of the base system.”
René Meneses Guide – Package Management:
“Removing advanced-tools disables several diagnostic commands like ip-scan and bandwidth-test.”
Terry Combs Notes – Tools Overview:
“Ping and neighbors are in core OS. Advanced-tools affects monitoring scripts and traffic tools.”
