process files that are larger than 4kB?

RouterOS General

I would like to build an address list from spamhaus DROP file (hijacked networks) but the list is 9kB big (http://www.spamhaus.org/faq/answers.lasso?section=DROP%20FAQ)

Is there a way to do it right from the router? Can v5 read files >4kB?

It cannot.

You have to push it from external. That’s preferred anyway. That way you’re fetching once on your external server and then distributing to a lot of routers. Nicer on their infrastructure.

Thanks for your reply. Your suggestion will work for large deployments however you must admit that maintaining a server to split a file in half is a pretty silly idea, IMHO, :laughing: especially if we are talking one router.

EDIT: If I had many routers I’d probably prefer each router to process it’s own file for security reasons anyway
