Mangle

[ihernandez]

Hello guys, I would like to know if I can mark packets on a group of IP addresses. For example I have a xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/40 on a router and would like to mark their packets in order to control their bandwidth.

the setup is like this
(bandwidth control)
Subscriber module canopy <-----------> AP canopy -------------------- Mikrotik --------------- internet
(wireless) (cat5)
Is that possible?

Regards,

Ignacio

Sure you can… But if you want to use simple queue, not even mangle is necessary, you can just create a simple queue with a limit and set the subnet as the source IP.

Thank you for your reply but I need this to be a part of a queue tree.

Then you can do the same in Mangle. Just add the subnet to the source IP. Optionally (if you want to mark more subnets together) you can create an address list in IP/Firewall/Address List and refer to that list in Mangle/Advanced/Source Address List instead of source IP (this method might be faster).
