Queuing on PPTP connection interface lost after reconnect

Hi all,

I might be doing this incorrectly so I just need a pointer in the right direction.

I would like to set up queues for PPTP clients that connect in. However - if I set up a queue on the pptp-client interface and the client disconnects and then reconnects, the queue displays as unknown interface.

How would I go about setting queues on PPTP clients that will remain after the client disconnects and reconnects ? I tried using packet marking but the same happens with unknown interface.

Thanks :wink:

You’ll want to specify a queue type in the pptp server profile.

This is strangely absent from the wiki (http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:PPP_AAA#User_Profiles) , but it’s visible in winbox. Otherwise the command arguments are:

/ppp profile add queue-type=" " parent-queue=" " insert-queue-before=" "

This way queues are dynamically created and torn down with each pptp connection.

You can also create static server bindings for these clients and use them as static interfaces.
