HAP ac Lite - USB FAT32 Support?

Wed Jul 27, 2016 6:24 pm

Good day,

I am trying to setup a TFTP server on the routerboard in order to host a .bin firmware file for IP phone provisioning. The router has 16Mb flash and no additional storage. After adding a USB stick formatted in FAT32, I am not sure if it even accessible or that it is supported.

I input the following command : 
/system routerboard usb set type= USB-type-A
/system routerboard usb> print without-paging  < getting no output on any print or get commands. 

Also not able to modify disk folder ( not even sure that it is, in fact, the USB key but the creation date/time of folder = time I plug USB key.

You must format it first, inside RouterOS. There is no FAT32 support.

But now I need to add a .bin file to this disk, but I am not able to upload the .bin file directly to it via Winbox or Web interface. I am only able to upload the bin in the web interface but not to the disk, since the file is 53MB, I am only able to upload 15MB and then it stops. How do I upload directly to the disk?

Why is there an option to format as FAT32 then?

> /disk format-drive file-system=

FileSystem ::= ext3 | fat32

And wiki says "Formating the disk, in either of two supported file-systems (ext3 or fat32)."

After a lot of head-scratching I just went ahead and directly transfered the .bin file to the flash drive on a PC. Thereafter I was able to make TFTP sharing of the .bin file located on the disk.

You can do that, or you can use SMB to transfer files
