1st time with mikrotik, working with RB750G ?'s

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Hello, I am new to Mikrotik and bought a few routerboard 750g’s to play with and try to learn the software a little. I have a scenario I am trying to get to work and I think I am missing something. I am looking to use this in a daisy chain config for 2 clients in the same building,

Ether1 - dhcp Public IP(for local client)
pass through to ether5

ether 2-3-4 hook to clients existing network (private IP) DHCP/Nat/Bandwidth Limitation

Ether 5 Pass through to ether1 to pass a public ip to next clients router and provide BW Limitation

I have ether 1/5 in a bridge group, 2/3/4 are in a switch group and 99% of things work great, the only problem I run across is trying to limit ether 5 with simple queues, no matter what I do it just ignores it. Can I limit the bridge? and if I do will this effect client 1’s speeds also?

Thank you
Reed

Make sure that use ip firewall is set

/interface bridge settings set use-ip-firewall=yes
