[Guide] Easy network-wide RouterOS upgrades

Mon Apr 30, 2018 4:00 pm

Hi everyone,

So with the latest RouterOS exploits, upgrading to a up-to-date RouterOS version is more important than ever.
I wrote an article/how-to on an easy way to update RouterOS across your entire network.

This article uses RouterOS Package Source feature to act as a local upgrade server.
Unimus is used to mass-configure the network to use the local package source and pull upgrades.

Full guide here:

Good luck!

Can you confirm that this should still work under ROS 7.1x. ?
I did the steps manually and configure package-upgrade-source, do refresh and so on. i also see the connection to the host router which holds the packages will be established, but there are no update files will be listed on the client device.

Hi. Sorry, I have not tested this with v7. I will spin up a lab and validate. Will post an update here as soon as I test this.

Sorry to barge in, but when you setup Unimus to handle upgrades - and other things - you give it the credentials to the Mikrotik devices. I am trying to figure out if Write or Full permissions are required for the upgrades and to be setup in Unimus?

Write should be enough unless you also want to manage Users (or change passwords) with Unimus Config Push.
The main difference between the two is access to "policy", which gives user management access.

You can check this in "/user group", it will show you which policy group has access to what :)
Docs for which individual policies do are here: https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ ... UserGroups

Thanks, I see you are the guy behind Unimus as well. Seems to be a great application.

I did go to the wiki to check what user permissions entailed, but there is no page, not on the old nor on the new wiki, that explains anything about the differences between the user permissions, except the obvious deductions.

Write it is then.
