Wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction.
I am trying to setup PCQ based bandwidth management for guest users of our network however I can figure out how to correctly tag the inbound traffic from our GW to the guest subnet.
If I just specify the GW interface as the inbound interface it works fine but of course this applies to all subnets and not just the guest subnet. If I add the guest subnet to the DST Address then nothing gets marked.
If you don't like using mangle and queue trees, you can skip step 1, do step 2, and step 3 would be to create one simple queue as shown here:
/queue simple add target-addresses=192.168.0.0/24 queue=PCQ_upload/PCQ_download \
packet-marks=client_download,client_upload
Interestingly this solution is not supposed to use packet marks according to the text above the example but clearly it still relies on packet marks.
So I doubt it would work if I “you can skip step 1” as described.
Well, you can accomplished that with two method, as example is showing, step 1 and step 2
if you are using step 2 you can skip step 1. Why? Because in step one we are marking out interesting traffic. How? By selecting the Interface where we want to do “action”. In this case this is LAN interaface, or we can say it is local subnet, eg. 192.168.0.0/24 and that is out interesting traffic (traffic from ip addresses which belong to 192.168.0.0/24 sunet) and then we are marking that traffic.
in step 2 we are doing the same thing, we are doing the action for traffic whic is based on target address= 192.168.0.0/24 nad then creating simple queue for the action.
