To identify the architecture of a MikroTik device, you can use several methodologies, depending on whether you have physical access to the device, through the web interface (WebFig), or through the command line interface (CLI) via WinBox, SSH, or Terminal. Next, I detail how you can identify the architecture in different scenarios:
1. Through the Command Line Interface (CLI)
If you have access to the RouterOS CLI (via SSH, Terminal in WinBox, or any other CLI access method), you can run the following command:
/system resource print
This command will show you various details about the system resources, including the computer architecture under the field architecture-name
.
2. Using WebFig
If you prefer to use the web graphical interface (WebFig):
- Access WebFig through the browser by entering the IP address of the router.
- Go to System > Resources.
- Here you will see the architecture in the section that shows the details of the system, labeled as
Architecture
.
3. Information on Product Packaging or Documentation
If you have access to the original packaging or product documentation, the computer's architecture is often specified in these materials. MikroTik usually includes details about the hardware and system capabilities in the technical specifications that accompany the equipment.
4. Consulting the MikroTik Website or Online Documentation
You can search for the specific model of your MikroTik device on the official MikroTik website or the MikroTik Wiki. On the product specifications page, you will find detailed information, including system architecture.
The architecture is a crucial aspect as it determines the appropriate RouterOS version to install on the computer. MikroTik supports multiple architectures such as MIPSBE, ARM, x86, among others, and each architecture has its own version of RouterOS designed to maximize hardware compatibility and performance. Correctly identifying the architecture is an essential step to ensure that your equipment functions optimally and is supported by software updates.
