| model (string) | If this device is a MikroTik RouterBOARD, this describes the model name |
| serial-number (string) | Serial number of this particular device |
| current-firmware (string) | the version of the RouterBOOT loader that is used right now. Not to be confused with RouterOS operating system version |
| upgrade-firmware (string) | RouterOS upgrades also include new RouterBOOT version files, but they have to be applied manually. This line shows if any new RouterBOOT file has been found in the device. The file can either be included with RouterOS version, or a FWF file can manually be uploaded to the router. In either case, newest found version will be shown here |
Upgrading RouterBOOT
RouterBOOT upgrades usually include minor improvements to overall RouterBOARD operation. It is recommended to keep this version upgraded. If you see that upgrade-firmware value is bigger than current-firmware, you simply need to perform the upgrade command, accept it with y and then reboot with /system reboot
[admin@mikrotik] /system routerboard> upgrade Do you really want to upgrade firmware? [y/n] y echo: system,info,critical Firmware upgraded successfully, please reboot for changes to take effect!
After rebooting, the current-firmware value should become identical with upgrade-firmware
