Hi!
I’ve been trying to set up a network for three locations.
The topography is as follows:
ISP Fiber connection → Microtik RB2011UiAS-RM Routerboard → Location 1 (via ethernet)
Microtik RB2011UiAS-RM Routerboard → Ubiquiti Directional Rocket → Location 2
Microtik RB2011UiAS-RM Routeboard —>Ubiquiti Directional Rocket → Location 3
Both Location 2 and Location 3 are on Ether 3 (as they go through one antenna).
I need Queues set up so that Location 1 gets 10mbps guaranteed, Location 2 gets 10mbps guaranteed, and Location 3 gets 5 mbps guaranteed. The ISP connection is 25mbps.
Obviously most of the time none of the locations will be using all of their allotment, and it is ideal that the “unused” bandwidth be available to the other locations, unless required by the designated location.
The infrastructure is all in place (I installed it all over the summer) and now the only that’s required is to set up the Microtik router.
Here are my questions:
1- How can I set up up the queues in a way so that the bandwidth is shared, but that each location can get it’s allotment when needed.
2- How should I set up the DHCP serverS? Location 1 is easy - Ether 2. Ether 3 is where it gets tricky as I need two DHCP Servers (?) going through the same interface. How can I do this? I need Location 2 and Location 3 to get their alotted bandwidth without mixing themselves up.
3- I’d like to set up three designated IP ranges - 192.168.115.x for Location 1, 10.0.3.x - 10.0.6.x for Location 2, and 10.0.7.x for Location 3. Is this too complicated? The reason I want such a wide range for Location 2 is to keep three types of devices separated (there are less than 100 devices at Location 2)
Is there anything I should know?
Thank you so much for your help! I’m an aspiring network tech and I promise you anything you say will teach me things I’ll take to heart and learn.
