Extending the dhcp

Hi there,
Currently customer has 192.168.2.0/24 network with the pool from 50 to 250 used on two south and north wings of the building. Both sides are sharing resources and should continue to do so (like 2 xerox copiers, 3 different network printer, shared NAS, etc). How can I keep all static ip settings untouched on all devices and users machines, but divide the network so the north and south are internet speed limited with the “simple queues”? Can’t do with IP limits (has to be geographic)

Something like this perhaps:
masquerade srcnat 192.168.2.0/23
gateway 192.168.2.1

network one 192.168.2.0/24 on port eth3
network two 192.168.3.0/24 on port eth4

I’m not sure if I’m on the right track. One thing is that on 192.168.3.0/24 i will have 2 printers with 192.168.2.## AND I NEED TO KEEP those IPs. otherwise I will have to go through 50+ computers to redo the printer settings.

Any help appreciated…

goto winbox “/ip arp” double click the address then “make static”.

i uses simple queues

method 1
mangle → mark routing → mark packet (and shouldbe mark route + ip route) “xxxxxx” (packet name) goto simple queues > packet mark “xxxxxx”

or
goto qtypes →

  • define rate speed : name=upz , kind=pcq
    define rate speed : name=downz , kind=pcq

goto simple queues → advanced

  • interface : “your interface” or method 1 packet name
    Queue Type : upload =“upz”, download = “downz”

i dont think method 1 will gonna work for you (including me :mrgreen: ) …

Hi deviant2,

My question is more about expanding existing IP range but at the same time limiting the internet speed separately on two half’s of that network

How can I keep all static ip settings

It is not about how to make static, it’s about how not to change IP’s. I’m trying to avoid changing the 192.168.2.0/24 network. I have about 30 devices with static IP assign. Changing one will result in half a day of “headache” work. So, the current IPs have to stay

goto simple queues → advanced
interface : “your interface” or method 1 packet name

Can “your interface” be a bridge? On the router I have two more vlans (all of the subnets are trunked to one Eth5)
