Long address lists

Sat Oct 26, 2013 3:16 pm

Hi!
Is it really necessary to have long address lists (example: firewall filter check blacklisted IPs) in router? Perhaps there is some way to read this information (IPs) directly from file on router or from local server (without adding 5000+ lines in address list section)? When are so much unimportant lines, easy can miss some relevant data + loading to see take some time and resources...
So, is this possible? :)

You can script it.

Sorry, but I dont understand you...
I already have address list with 5000+ entry`s added by script on router, but I want that firewall filter check one file.txt rather than long address list - I cant find info easy anymore...

The best you can do is to have a script load the file into the address list.

already done :D

SO, there is no other way to read data for filter than just from address list?

Maybe Mikrotik specs can build something up in new versions? :) Where can I post a sugesstion? :D

As I see it, I should be much faster to have the list in memory than in a file. File would need to be loaded to memory for the router to process it and that would be as if it was in memory in the first place.
