Hi friends
I have some download servers at my office .
I want it when my users download or upload from that servers , MikroTik don’t calculate traffic from it . it mean my users have free traffic to that servers .
How can be do that ? is there anyway to do it from mikrotik ?
My accounting is Freeradius , it must be from my radius server side ?
anyone know what’s the solution ?
I’ve seen this from some other service providers but I don’t see anyway to do that .
Thank you
If your servers are for example 10.6.6.0/24, just add simple queue for that network and set it as unlimited. Every connection going to or from 10.6.6.0/24 network will be withing that queue and simple queue of customers will not include traffic to and from servers.
I believe what he is trying to achieve is make the traffic going to the servers as null, IE make that traffic “free” and not count towards his usage on FreeRadius which accounts from the PPPoE session.
I’m not sure if fast track “bypasses” radius updates on traffic. Hell that would be awesome if that were possible. Almost like a Radius ignore-update packet mark.
I can’t comment on exempting internet web sites from Mikrotik/FR accounting BUT If you want to exempt accounting traffic for your local servers (example file sharing./media etc) You can use Intervlan routing method. This way all local servers/users can communicate with each other via switch port level & traffic for those servers will not pass via mikrotik router.
At my friend ISP he had 10 TB of media sharing servers which users uses to download different sharing data which was also counted in users monthly internet traffic report. therefore we used intervlan routing method and then the problem gets solved. now only internet traffic is counted in reports. One working example here …
