Let's do it :)
3. Let's do it :)
The following text is based on RouterBoard 532 (i've also tested it on 532A). We connect the mikrotik with computer via serial console cable and via patch-cord, but we have to connect it to main ethernet adapter - in my RB there's a "PoE" sticker. If you have not do that already it's time to configure ethernet interface and launch the dhcp server on computer: ifconfig eth0 10.0.0.1 up
invoke-rc.d dhcp start Now it's time to run a minicom without modem initialization (this is not needed at all): minicom -o If MikroTik is now running you need to reboot it, and if doesn't you need to power it up - short after that you should see on console the RouterBoard's BIOS: RouterBOOT booter 1.5
RouterBoard 532 CPU frequency: 264 MHz
Memory size: 32 MB Press any key within 1 seconds to enter setup
You have a short time to hit any key (default: one second - can be changed later) and than you'll see: RouterBOOT-1.5 What do you want to configure?
d - boot delay d - boot delay
f - try cpu frequency c - keep cpu frequency
r - reset configuration
g - upgrade firmware i - board info
p - boot protocol t - do memory testing x - exit setup
your choice: press o: your choice: o - boot device
Select boot device:
e - boot over Ethernet n - boot from NAND
c - boot from CF 1 - boot Ethernet once, then NAND 2 - boot Ethernet once, then CF b - boot chosen device
your choice: If you have a system on NAND memory you need to choose: boot Ethernet once, then NAND - (1) else - if you boot from CF (asterisk next to 'c' selection) then you need to press 2. In my case i've pressed 1 and i was back in main menu. Then i've selected the boot protocol configuration (p): RouterBOOT-1.5
What do you want to configure?
d - boot delay k - boot key s - serial console o - boot device u - cpu mode
f - try cpu frequency c - keep cpu frequency
r - reset configuration
g - upgrade firmware i - board info
p - boot protocol t - do memory testing x - exit setup
your choice: p - boot protocol and i've selected dhcp (2): Choose which boot protocol to use:
1 - bootp protocol 2 - dhcp protocol your choice: 2 - dhcp protocol After return to main menu you need to press x to save settings and reboot the kernel from your computer: RouterBOOT-1.5 What do you want to configure?
d - boot delay k - boot key s - serial console o - boot device u - cpu mode
f - try cpu frequency c - keep cpu frequency
r - reset configuration
g - upgrade firmware g - upgrade firmware
your choice: x - exit setup
