Hi
Can you tell me where I can find information to setup a proxy server using a 2.5" ATA disk on one of our routerboards please? I see some old posts regarding how to locate the disk itself, but need some help on the physical setup i.e. max disk size supported, pre-formatted etc. and Router O/S setup to use the proxy device.
thanks
simply attach the disk and enable the secondary drive in RouterOS - it will format the drive itself.
more in the manual:
http://www.mikrotik.com/docs/ros/2.8/ip/webproxy.content#7.53.2.2
enable the secondary drive in RouterOS
How do I do this? I’m running off CF and I have a secondary drive attached, but In Winbox I only see ‘System’ as a choice in the Web-Proxy settings.
Should it just appear in that list, and if not, how do I get it to appear there?
thx, michael
I’m not sure about winbox, but in CLI you can set it with the cache-drive setting:
cache-drive (system | text; default: system) - specifies the target disk drive to be used for storing cached objects
But what values can ‘text’ take?
If I use the CLI, then I type this:
ip web-proxy> set cache-drive=
and then ‘?’. And the only choice it gives me is ‘system’. If I try and enter some text value it says that it does not match any value of cache-drive.
Do I have to tell RouterOS that the drive is installed?
check if you have the drive correctly set to slave and that both the jumper and bios settings are correct. if the drive is correctly connected, it will show up next to system in that menu
It turns out this problem was caused by using a non-Sandisk CF card. Switching to Sandisk fixed it. (Somehow the other brands I tried weren’t responding to the secondary/primary drive settings and hence the hard disk was never visible.
