mikrotik :: mikrotik update

You should do regular updates, no matter what other security layers are in place.

 

Using WebFig:

 

Go to System / Packages and click Check for Updates.

 

If any package found, you should also update the RouterBOARD. Go to System / RouterBOARD and click Upgrade. You should reboot the router afterwards.

 

 

Using command line:

 

/system package update check-for-updates

 

if any found, use:

 

/system package update install

 

and then 

 

/system routerboard upgrade

 

 

Using scheduler and assuming Email sending is configured already:

 

Create a script named "update" containing:

 

:local varIdentity [/system identity get name]
:local varDate [/system clock get date]
:local varTime [/system clock get time]

/system package update
check-for-updates once
:delay 3s;

:if ( [get status] = "New version is available") do={
install
/tool e-mail send from="Router Admin on $varIdentity " \
to=someaccount@camscape.ro \
subject="Updates installed on $varIdentity" \
body="Updates installed on router on $varDate $varTime"
}

:if ( [get status] = "System is already up to date") do={
/tool e-mail send from="Router Admin on $varIdentity " \
to=someaccount@camscape.ro \
subject="No updates needed on $varIdentity" \
body="There are no updates needed on router on $varDate $varTime"
}

 

Create a scheduler (System / Scheduler) named Update that starts today, start time 03:00:00 and interval 23:59:59 . On event specify:

 

/system script run update
