 section on how to configure loader to boot from network. 

Note that you must connect the RouterBOARD you want to boot, and the BOOTP/DHCP and TFTP servers to 

the same broadcast domain (i.e., there must not be any routers between them). 

Operating System Support 

MikroTik RouterOS starting from version v5 is fully compatible with RouterBOARD Groove series devices. If 

your device is preinstalled with an earlier RouterOS release, please upgrade RouterOS to v5.14 or newer. 

RouterOS functions 

The default OS of RouterBOARD devices is RouterOS, when the 

routerboard.npk

 package is installed, RouterOS 

can configure some RouterBOARD hardware settings without the need to enter RouterBOOT menu through 

the serial console.  

Health monitor 

This menu shows the current  voltage and temperature status. There are two temperature sensors on the 

device: 

[admin@MikroTik] > system health print 

          voltage: 12.4V 

      temperature: 40C 

 [admin@MikroTik] > 

 

Firmware information 

This menu displays RouterBOARD model number, serial number, the current boot loader version and the 

version available in the current software packages installed. 

[admin@MikroTik] > system routerboard print
