Web Proxy on RB1100?

Thu Nov 25, 2010 8:11 pm

Is it a good idea to switch on Web Proxy on a RB1100?
Would it it that case be best to expand the RAM and use the system store, or to insert a SD card and use that as a separate store for the Web Proxy? Where is the NAND in the RB1100..? Is this the 512 MB built-in memory or something else..?

Thanks

It would be best to add an SD card and use that as the proxy store. Adding more RAM may be valuable as your utilization may go up when enabling that feature. It should be the 512mb built-in memory. Not sure where its physically located. Its been a while since I've opened my 1100.

I'm a bit confused about the memory on the RB1100..
It should have 512 MB internal memory, but it some places it says it's SDRAM, and in others that this is a NAND (flash).

How can it be that I use 213936 KB cache storage, but only use 6961 KB RAM, when RAM is all I've got...???

don't confuse memory with storage!

- There is a SODIMM slot for changing the RAM module, by default it has 512MB, and you can upgrade up to 2GB.
- The storage is a NAND flash, and there is also a microSD slot.

Sorry.. still struggling..

Are you saying that the RB1100 has 512MB RAM when shipped, PLUS 512MB storage ('disk' in /store disk print) ?

Yes.

What do you mean by "plus"? They are different things. It's like saying you will get a PC + a keyboard.

Mmmm.. you're right. I should download the RB1100 user guide and read it myself, instead of asking silly questions..
In the wrong forum as well, apparently.. (no idea why I created this thread under Virtualization).

Anyway, I'll try to enable Web Proxy in one of our production RB1100 routers and see what happens then..
