queue simple parent rules on Ros6

Hi all,

Since moving to RouterOS 6.x I’ve not been able to setup multiple parent shapers in /queue simple.

for example if i have a parent rule defining a max-limit of 100M/100M with a target of 0.0.0.0/0 with a child shaper pointing to that it works fine.

But if i introduce another parent shaper with a max-limit of 50M/50M below that with another child shaper it seems to be ignored, if you move said rules above the rules made above for the 100M parent shaper then they are used instead and the others are ignored.

Is there a specific method of getting multiple parent shapers working without one taking precedence?

Hi.

If you want to have multiple parent working: queue tree is the answer

The reason why this is not working is because you have a target of 0.0.0.0/0 this means that all addresses will match this. You would need to be more specific if you want to have mutiple queues in simple queues or as has been suggested use queue tree.
