Queue tree - Agregate a set of interfaces as parent

RouterOS General

Hi

I am stucked trying to configure a queue tree for two interfaces.

I have this two interfaces(for example eth2 and eth3) and I want set a bandwidth limit for the sum of both of them and give different priorities to each interface.
I am sending different types of traffic for each interface but I want only one queue tree for them.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .|--------> Priority 7 BE (ether2)
. . . Parent interface (?) ---->
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .|--------> Priority 1 VoIP (ether3)

Is there any way to group these interfaces as one, in order to create the tree. I have tried set global-out as parent of the tree but this not works for bidireccional traffic.

Any idea or suggestion?

Thank you
Regards

You can group these interfaces under a bridge interface, or you can using mangling in such way that you can then apply the markings from mangle under the queue tree using global as interface, for example:

/ip firewall mangle
chain=forward action=mark-packet protocol=tcp new-packet-mark=down_e2 in-interface=ether1 out-interface=ether2

with this rule you are marking packets coming from ether1 and going out from ether2 assuming ether1 is your internet connection and ether2 is LAN connection.
Then you can use these marks into queue tree using global interface as parent.

Thank you! :slight_smile:

That was exactly what I was looking for. If I mark using a in-interface criteria I can apply global-out parent.

Kind regards
