Can be installed directly to the router os or to a server computer in because mikrotik is an operating system. Mikrotik is short for mikrotikls Meaning: small network in Latvian. RouterOS is an operating system and software capable of making Intel / AMD based PCs capable of performing Router, Bridge, Firewall, Bandwidth Management, Wireless AP & Client functions and many other functions.
RouterOS can perform almost all networking functions as well as some server functions. In this tutorial I want to share knowledge about how to install and configure mikrotik how to install mikrotik version 4 as server using server built up. As we know mikrotik used for network administration both wan and local. In order to function properly a mikrotik must first be installed then new disetting according to the needs in want.

Contents. Summary Sub-menu: /disk Since v6.20 release, attached storage is now managed in '/disk' sub-menu, instead of previous '/store disk' menu. This menu will list all attached storage devices, presuming that they are supported and in working condition.
As a note, Webproxy and User manager stores as now shown as directories in '/files menu'. When configuring webproxy cache or usermanager database you will now be asked to write in the actual full path of the directory where you want these stores to be created. This is especially useful for RouterBOARD devices with SD/CF/USB slots and x86 systems with additional dedicated storage drives - as the built-in storage is quite small, an external drive comes in very handy when you want a big User Manager database, proxy cache or possibly SMB shares on your router.
You can add as many external or secondary drives as you want, and select any number of them for each of the mentioned feature usage.

Wo, 10 jan 2018 08:50:00 GMT - Here's a solution to fix your greyed out WiFi in iOS 7 on your iPhone 4S. Instal Mikrotik Menggunakan Flashdisk. 4/30/2017 0 Comments Cara menggunakan Rufus sangat mudah, ikuti step-stepnya sebagai berikut. For example User Manager could be used on 3 disks, one of them would be the active database, and the rest would be backups.
You can then add a fourth disk, copy the active data to it - unmount - unplug it - and move to another server, to keep using the actual database. This means migration and backup made easy! Note: Max supported partition size in RouterOS is 2TB and larger hard disk drives will not work. Except on CCR routers (Tile architecture) it is possible to use larger HDD in RouterOS if it is formatted with multiple partitions each smaller than 2TB. Examples Formatting attached storage unit - Simple 1.
Disk is attached, and already mounted automatically by system. admin@MikroTik /disk print # NAME LABEL TYPEDISK FREE SIZE 0 disk1 usb-flash ext3 00 7.1GiB 7.2GiB admin@MikroTik /file print # NAME TYPE SIZE CREATION-TIME 2 skins directory jan/01/1970 03:00:01 3 pub directory feb/04/1970 21:31:40 4 disk1 disk apr/20/2015 14:05:16 2. Unmounting storage drive in order to format it.
admin@MikroTik /disk eject-drive 0 3. Formatting the disk, in either of two supported file-systems (ext3 or fat32).
admin@MikroTik /disk format-drive 0 file-system=ext3 label=flashdrive formatted: 100% 4. Drive is formatted and should be automatically mounted after formatting process is finished. Formatting attached storage unit - Detailed Let us presume that you have added a storage device to your device that is running RouterOS. System will try to automatically mount it and in such case if storage is formatted in a supported file-system and partition record, it will be found in '/files' menu moments after you plugged it in to the host device.
If not, here is what you have to do. Do a quick print of disk menu, to make sure that router sees the attached storage.
admin@MikroTik disk print # NAME LABELTYPEDISKFREE SIZE 0 disk1 NO NAME fat32 00 6.6GiB 7.2GiB We can here see that system sees one storage drive and also that it is formatted with a known file-system type. When running file menu print-out we also see that is mounted.
admin@MikroTik file print # NAME TYPE SIZE CREATION-TIME 0 disk1 disk apr/20/2015 13:44:11 1 skins directory jan/01/1970 03:00:01 2 pub directory feb/04/1970 21:31:40 2. Now to format it we must first unmount it. To do that we need to issue the command that is pasted below. Note that you can use disk 'id' or 'name' for this task. ID number is usable only after the print command on the specific menu has been issued and presuming that the order or count has not changed, as that would also possibly change the id.
OR this disk name identifier which in this example case would be 'NO NAME'. Name can be used without issuing print as that is a static value and should not change unless changed manually by you. In short: using the ID number of the disk is easy, but printout of this menu must be done first. admin@MikroTik disk eject-drive 0 In short: using name, quicker if you know the device name. But ' needs to be added if this value contains spaces or some symbols that might confuse console. admin@MikroTik disk eject-drive 'NO NAME' 3.
Formatting drive now that it is unmounted. We issue command with previously know id or name and with desired file-system (ext3 or fat32), we can also assign label to device as I did in this example.
admin@MikroTik /disk format-drive 0 file-system=ext3 label=usb-flash formatted: 100%. Note: For really large storage drives we recommend (if possible) to use some pc in order to format them prior to attaching them to your RouterOS based device. Web-Proxy cache configuration example Enter proxy cache path under IP -Proxy menu and web proxy store is automatically created in files menu. If a non-existent directory path is used, an additional sub-directory is also created automatically.
admin@MikroTik /ip proxy set cache-path=disk3/cache-n-db/proxy/. admin@MikroTik /file print # NAME TYPE SIZE CREATION-TIME 0 skins directory mar/02/2015 18:56:23 1 sys-note.txt.txt file 23 jul/03/2015 11:40:48 2 disk3 disk jul/03/2015 11:35:05 3 disk3/lost+found directory jul/03/2015 11:34:56 4 disk3/cache-n-db directory jul/03/2015 11:41:54 4 disk3/cache-n-db/proxy web-proxy store jul/03/2015 11:42:09 User manager database path configuration example Example is made presuming that rest of configuration is in place and you are just changing/setting user-man database path. If a non-existent directory path is used, an additional sub-directory is also created automatically.
admin@MikroTik /tool user-manager database set db-path=disk3/cache-n-db/user-manager/. admin@MikroTik /file print where name'user-manager' # NAME TYPE SIZE CREATION-TIME 0 disk3/cache-n-db/user-manager/ directory jul/03/2015 12:17:38 1 disk3/cache-n-db/user-manager/sqldb file 367.0KiB jul/03/2015 12:17:38 2 disk3/cache-n-db/user-manager/logsqldb file 29.0KiB jul/03/2015 11:00:42 User manager moving database example In this example, the User Manager instance has been installed on the System Drive and is required to be moved to a typical external USB drive (called 'disk1'). (It is recommended USB Drives are formatted to ext3 instead of FAT32). The database is backed up, data base path changed and finally database restored. Once User Manager is proven to be working correctly, the original 'user-manager' folder and associated files on the system drive could then be deleted. admin@MikroTik /tool user-manager database save name=/disk1/UMBackup admin@MikroTik /tool user-manager database set db-path=disk1/user-manager/ admin@MikroTik /tool user-manager database load name=/disk1/UMBackup Log on disk configuration example When configuring logging on disk make sure that you create directories in which you want to store the log files manually, as non-existent directories will NOT be automatically created in this case. admin@MikroTik /system logging action set disk disk-file-name=/disk3/log/syslog.
admin@MikroTik /file print where name'disk3/log' # NAME TYPE SIZE CREATION-TIME 0 disk3/log directory jul/03/2015 12:44:09 1 disk3/log/syslog.0.txt.txt file 160 jul/03/2015 12:44:11. Note: Logging topics such as firewall, web-proxy and some other topics that tend to save a large amount or rapid printing of logs on system nand disk might cause it to wear out faster, so using some attached storage or remote logging is recommended in this case. Properties Property Description eject-drive ( Integer; Default: ) Safely unmounts (ejects) drive of your selection by using drive ID or NAME that is assigned to it. After issuing this command it can be removed from host device.

label - Label to be assigned to disk. Web proxy is a service that is placed between a client and the internet for HTTP web surfing. It can cache certain contents / http pages in its local cache.
Mikrotik have basic PROXY package builtin called WEB PROXY. It is suitable for basic caching for small to mid size networks.
For advance caching capabilities, Use 3rd party external proxy server like SQUID. MikroTik WEB.PROXY Recommendation Always try NOT to use the same storage disk to store your your cache and your your Router OS, to ensure there is always enough space on your router OS Disk for logs, upgrade / update packages & Backups. Therefore It is highly recommended that the web-proxy cache is stored on a physically separate drive (store) other than the Router OS. Placing the cache on a separate drive ensures maximum performance and reduces problems if the disk becomes full or fails as the OS will then still be OK! Caching Internet access will require a lot of read and writes to the disk, chose fast disk as for maximum performance / concurrent user request support. Cache performance also largely depends on RAM size, the More RAM you have in your server, the Better performance you will get.
We will divide this article in 3 Sections. 1# Preparing Secondary Partition for Cache 2# Configuring Web Proxy 3# Transparent Proxy Let’s BEGIN. 1# Preparing Secondary Drive for CACHE First we will Format secondary harddrive (to be used for cache ), IF YOU DON’T WANT TO USE SECONDARY HARD-DIVE, SKIP THIS STEP. Goto SYSTEM STORES DISKS Select the Secondary Hard drive and click on FORMAT DRIVE As shown in the image below. Now go to STORES tab (by navigating to SYSTEM STORES) Select the WEB-Proxy package and click on COPY It will ask you where to copy WEB-Proxy package, Select Secondary Drive in TO box.
As shown in the image below. 2# Configuring Web Proxy Now We have to Enable Mikrotik Web Proxy by navigating to IP WEB PROXY As shown in the image below.
Now Click on “Enable” in Port, Type 8080 Max Cache Size, Select Unlimited from drop down menu, OR if you have limited Disk Space, then use your desired amount. You have to specify space in KiloBytes for example 1024 KB = 1MB, so if you want to set 5 GB Cache, then use 5242880, I am using 5 GB in this example. The cache size is really based off of how much RAM you have in the machine As shown in the image below. Click on Apply and your Mikrotik’s Web Proxy is Ready to be used, But Every client have to set proxy address pointing to Mikrotik IP to be able to use Proxy Service. 3# Transparent Proxy If we want that every user must be automatically redirected to Proxy transparently, then we have to create additional rule to forcefully redirect users to proxy service, which is called TRANSPARENT PROXY. Goto IP FIREWALL NAT and create new rule In Chain, Select dsntant, In Protocol, Select 6 (tcp) In Dst.
Port, Type 80 As shown in the image below. Now goto Action Tab, In Action, Select redirct In To Ports, Type 8080 As shown in the image below. Now your newly created rule will look like something below image. As shown in the image below. OR the CLI version of above rule would be something like below. /ip firewall nat add action=redirect chain=dstnat disabled=no dst-port=80 protocol=tcp to-ports=8080 Done. Now Mikrotik web proxy will perform as TRANSPARENT PROXY, Every user’s HTTP PORT 80 request will automatically be redirected to Mikrotik built-in Web Proxy.
You can View Proxy Status and other info via going to IP WEB PROXY SETTINGS STATUS and other tabs in the same window. As shown in the image below. WEB-PROXY Tips ‘N’ Tricks!! By Zaib (December, 2011). Howto Send CACHED Contents to user at Full Speed / Ignoring QUEUE Limit for cached-hits marked packets ? First Mark Cached Contents by MANGLE Rule. In my opinion it is Much more easier to just add an external proxy box Either Squid or ISA, SQUID always works better also its open source and highly customizable.
Trying to integrate Mikrotik builtin WebProxy with PCC becomes too complicated to troubleshoot. If you want to try it, the general idea is to replicate all the PCC set up for the ‘output’ chain. PCC as you have it runs in ‘prerouting’, which never sees packets generated by the router. When you use a proxy all web traffic is split into two connections – one from client to router (proxy), the other from the proxy (router) to the Internet. You have to PCC balance those connections. At the same time you have to be careful not to match any other traffic sent from the router (replies to SSH, Winbox, DNS, whatever other services you have running), and you have to be careful to not match traffic during normal PCC that will be redirected to the proxy.
Routing marks override everything. I would keep it simple and easy to troubleshoot and just build a Squid proxy and mark all http traffic and route it to squid box.

To bind user id with mac, you can do it in few ways. # Now create static entries in DHCP for your working user and allow only specific working ip series in NAT rule. If user manually changes his ip he will not be able to communicate with teh mikrotik.
# Or create a rule which drop every request, move it to bottom end, and create rules to allow specific mac n ip and move this rule to top. There are so many ways you can limit user access, However limiting via MAC/IP is not secure, as cloning mac and ip is very easy nowa days. Its would be better if you use user id base authentication like PPPoE (ipless scenario) which is very effective way to secure the access.

Do you static public on Mikrotik WAN interface? If not then you can configure dymanic dns on your mikrotik, then you can use domain name of any choice (free) and using this name you can access your mikrotik or web server. If using static public on mikrotik wan then simply create a port forward rule that will forward port 81 request to internal web server. On internal web server, make sure its using mikrotik as its default gateway. Then from internet you can access it by using then mikrotik will forward port 81 request to your local web server.

Hello Syed, thanks for this great piece of info. I have a small network- at peak with 25 clients and i want to use web proxy but it seems from the tutorial that you were working on a routerOs installed on a PC and not a routerboard. If that is the case, how do i connect an external PC that will be caching content to a RouterBoard since an RB has small drive space and besides because of constant read/write need of Cache doesn’t make an RB a good candidate. My RB is 951-2n Please I wouldn’t like to use squid though just the built-in web proxy from mikrotik.
Thanks Like Comment by max — April 20, 2013 @. MAX: You can use Microsoft ISA Server 2004/2006, which is also very good in caching. Its cache HIT ratio is comparatively good with balanced approach (in terms of content freshness). With some fine tunning you can achieve some good cache hit results even with ISA:), the only side effect is that you can use TOS or ZPH in it, so even the cached content will be restricted by the user package limit. If your users have good package speed, then you will not feel any difference.
Give it a try. I am using from more the one DECADE, yes its true, I first started using ISA server in year 2001 at my cable.network, afterward moved to 2004 when I joined an company, then 2006, and now on Forefront TMG 2010 which is the new name for ISA and its 64bit and works very good in terms of stability and options. This is the first product of ISA series that supports DUAL wan load balancing and failover too, infactits fail over works very good. I am using it. Give it a shot, isa server 204 or preferably 2006 is better if you dont want to go with the SQUID. Like Comment by — May 3, 2013 @.
