RUT950: not enough flash to install packages?

[Antonio]

Hi folks, I absolutely need to install OSPF in a group of RUT950. These routers haven’t any optional package on board but it seems that flash memory is not enough to install the package I need. Is there any chance/trick/magic to do that? Thanks

Hi…

Did you look at https://wiki.teltonika-networks.com/view/RUT950_Package_Downloads

There is a OSPF
https://opkg.teltonika-networks.com/e3f1651748814ded9771ec75341fa86b7a9f80f0a1853a686bd70bca4b74bdce/wiki/ospf_daemon.tar.gz

And dynamic routing (rut950)
https://wiki.teltonika-networks.com/view/RUT950_Routing

There is a chapter about OSPF.

Hi Marcelo,
thanks for the quick answer :), I already know the page you show me, but the problem is that I can’t install the package because, as you can see on the list, its size is 1.51 MB and I have only 1.4 MB free on the router flash, without any optional package installed and the latest firmware RUT9_R_00.07.06.17

Have you see this url?

Configuration changes to RUT240 not saving beyond reboot

It’s possible that there are some leftovers (for some reason), but if you’ve done factory reset then they should be gone. Anyway, I’d advise to try out a tool like WinSCP or MobaXterm and login to the router using them. It’ll allow you to view directories in a nice, GUI-based manner. You’ll probably have to look around in /etc/ and /root/ directories to try and find larger files. If you’re familiar with CLI then you can search through some particular directories and find largest files in them, …

du -a / 2>/dev/null | sort -n -r | head -n 40

Also… Remove log from the device

RUT950 deleted log events

Hello, You can delete your logs by connecting to the router’s SSH via CLI and utilizing the commands recommended by @pwsh. Follow these steps: SSH into your router. Navigate to the log folder using the command: cd /log/. Execute the command: rm log.db. Restart the events log service with the command: /etc/init.d/eventslog restart. Let me know if you have additional questions! Best Regards,

Updating…
I found this command
opkg list-installed | awk ‘{print $1}’ | while read -r line; do if (opkg info $line | grep -q ‘install ok
installed’); then opkg --autoremove remove $line; fi; done

And last…
Try to remove at Package Manager… To clean some packets?

Hi Marcelo, thanks again. Cheking with WinSCP, it seems that I haven’t bigger files, now I’m trying to remove logs, I’ll let you know.
