Keep configuration changes in RAM

RouterOS General
1

Hi all,

I’m wanting to implement some scripts that dynamically change my routers configuration based on external events (mainly filters/address lists…). This could make several configuration changes in a 1 minute interval and I’m afraid this could have some impact on the internal flash due to the elevated number of writes.

Regarding this, my question is: Is there any way to keep configuration changes in RAM? (I am not worried about losing that dynamic changes because I can recreate them).

Thank you all in advance.

Regards.

If you add address to address list and set timeout to non-zero value, then this address list entry will be considered dynamic and won’t be stored to the permanent storage … i.e. it won’t show in configuration export.
This is not the case with firewall filters, you can’t have dynamic ones … but perhaps you can construct one (or a few) firewall filter rule which does its job using address list with dynamic entries.
