simple queue for a small block of local IP's

RouterOS General

Hi can anybody tell me the correct syntax for setting a simple queue for bandwidth limiting a small block of local ,IP’s eg:

192.168.1.171
192.168.1.172
192.168.1.173

So they all share the same bandwidth?

I have sucessfully done it with single address but I am unsure of the correct syntax to do this.

The only way you can do this in V2.8 with Simple Queues is by subnet.

For example enter 192.168.1.0/30 will shape .0, .1, .2 and .3 to share whatever Simple Queue you enter for them.

With V2.8 you can not shape two or more IP addressees with the same Simple Queue unless they fall within the same subnet and you want to shape all IP’s in that subnet.

So, with V2.8 you cannot shape 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.6 in the same Simple Queue unless you entered 192.168.1.0/29. This will obviously also shape .0, .1, .3, .4, .5 and .7 because they all are part of the /29.

V2.9 will allow you to enter multiple addresses from different subnets. With V2.9 you can enter 192.168.1.2/32, 192.168.1.3/32 and even 10.10.1.10/32 all into the same Simple Queue.

This is something I’ve been after MikroTik to get done for some time! Bravo to MikroTik for listening and implementing!

Best,

Thanks for the info, it looks like I need to upgrade to 2.9 :slight_smile:
