I am looking for information to ELEVATE LGH5, can you pass me a link?
Thanks !!!
Hello @CesarG ,
to elevate your LHG5 you need:
- PC with working Netinstall
- TFTP server
- corresponding vmlinux image, you can download it from here
- Configure PC with two addresses 192.168.88.5/24 and 169.254.1.5/16
- Start Netinstall and configure Net booting: Boot Server enabled, Client IP address: 192.168.88.1
- Put downloaded image in TFTP root catalog and change its name to “vmlinux”
- Start flashing with Netinstall tool
- Netinstall via BOOTP will make your equipment to download vmlinux image from TFTP server. It will be reflected in Netinstall logs.
- Your station will restart with Elevate software
- Start ping to 169.254.1.1 and wait aprox. 20 sec more after you get a response.
- Open 169.254.1.1 in your browser and log in with admin/admin. Go to Tools → Software upgrade and use MIKROTIK-lhg5-v4.6.1.tar.gz image downloaded from here
- Then press Upgrade and reboot device.
- After reboot you will log in to elevated station.

Hey thanks for this info, im having issues loading the file vmlinux in netboot.
do we need to specify a new file type or something? error message “board supports versions from 6.44.6”
you can use IPBIN
steps:
- start IPBIN
- specify the binary file (can be anything you want)
- specify the network interface
- press the reset button on the Mikrotik device during power on (netinstall)
to avoid steps 2. and 3. you can write a simple startup script for IPBIN
with a PoE switch, a worker can flash around 100 devices/hour
BR,
