Problem with marking FTP traffic (mark routing)

RouterOS General
1

Hi,

I don’t know why, but when I try to makr FTP traffic only “thing” which I recive are few kb/s when the real traffic is >300kb/s
I tried with 20-21 port and connection-type=ftp:

4 chain=prerouting action=mark-routing new-routing-mark=GTSftp
passthrough=yes src-address=192.168.0.0/24 connection-type=ftp

I would like to pass FTP traffic to other ISP so all trafic has to be marked.

Is only solution is to install 3.0 and l7 ?

I think that L7 in the only way.

FTP also uses random ports between 1024 and 5000, so if you want to route/mangle all FTP traffic, you need L7.

Yes, I know, that FTP randoms port when not working in passive mode, but my question is - what for is connection-type=ftp if it is not working properly ?

4 chain=prerouting action=mark-routing new-routing-mark=GTSftp
passthrough=yes > src-address=192.168.0.0/24 > connection-type=ftp

this is upload traffic. in the same time, download could easily be > 300 kb/s =)

chupaka you re right! i didn’t notice that :wink:

now it is “working” but only in half :wink: i can log to ftp server, but cennot do ls (via routing mark) - i works only in passive mode (but when i swich to passive marking is not working :/)
