I found this old thread. It looks like RouterOS is only using 2GB RAM regardless the platform. Even the official hardware from Mikrotik cannot utilise more than 2GB of RAM. Does that mean RouterOS is not meant to be used in large scale? Do I miss anything here?
Interesting post, I am looking for same answer, How to increase max-entries: I have recently bought CCR-1036 Hardware. I am doing lots of firewall stuff and i badly need that setting bump. Document lying about it, that it will increase base on available RAM. We have 16GB RAM and 14GB Free. What i should do now???
