General

Sub-menu level: /system resource

on RouterBOARD devices the following menu exists, which gives you some basic information about your device:

[admin@demo.mt.lv] /system routerboard> print 
       routerboard: yes
             model: 433
     serial-number: 185C01FCA958 
  current-firmware: 3.25
  upgrade-firmware: 3.25

Properties

All properties are read-only

Property	Description
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
