Static IP for Clients and Bandwidth control Help

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Dear Experts, Need your help.
1. I want to assign static IP to some of the clients. How can I do that?
2. I want to configure bandwidth control as below. How can I achieve?

192.168.9.2-192.168.9.100 - 64/32 (download/upload)
192.168.9.101-192.168.9.200 - 128/64 (download/upload)
192.168.9.201-192.168.9.254 - 256/64 (download/upload)

Please guide stepwise as I am newbee.

Many Thanks
Awaiting for assistance.

Use /queue simple - for set static IP for client/Users & u can also set bandwidth limitation for each user by queue simple. As a new i suggested you to use Winbox for easily configuration.

You could manually fill the dhcp-leases table with ip’s and specify the required rate-limit to each entry. That way queues will automatically be created on ipaddr issue time.

But I suppose you probably don’t want to add static dhcp entries for each of these ip’s in specified ranges? Looks like hell of a lot of them. Besides rate-limit creates queues that limits up/down rates equally.

In that case, you probably need to use separate addr pools and somehow define queue rules for them. Though I’m not sure how to easily assign queues for every separate ip.

Many Thanks for the help. I have gone thru wiki on rate-limit. However, am little confused on how to apply. Wiki says:

[ Format is: rx-rate[/tx-rate] [rx-burst-rate[/tx-burst-rate] [rx-burst-threshold[/tx-burst-threshold] [rx-burst-time[/tx-burst-time]]]]. All rates should be numbers with optional ‘k’ (1,000s) or ‘M’ (1,000,000s). If tx-rate is not specified, rx-rate is as tx-rate too. Same goes for tx-burst-rate and tx-burst-threshold and tx-burst-time. If both rx-burst-threshold and tx-burst-threshold are not specified (but burst-rate is specified), rx-rate and tx-rate is used as burst thresholds. If both rx-burst-time and tx-burst-time are not specified, 1s is used as default]

For example I want to assign192.168.9.201speed of 256/64, In the DHCP Server window, in rate limit- do i need to enter as ‘256000/64000’. Please guide?

Thanks Turjo,

I was checking with Quece. When i put IP range of ‘192.168.9.2-192.168.9.100’ in Target Address of New Simple Queue Window, error showing, “Error in, network address or ipv6 network address expected”. Looks like MT does not accept, ‘From - To’ IP Range. Any way to achieve bandwidth management for below IP range.
192.168.9.2-192.168.9.100 - 64/32 (download/upload)
192.168.9.101-192.168.9.200 - 128/64 (download/upload)
192.168.9.201-192.168.9.254 - 256/64 (download/upload)

In that case you only need to specify down/up rates separated by a slash. For example 64k/32k should do the trick. And if you don’t have any kind of physical separation between these speed categories you definitely have to create src-mac based ip leases, since it’s your only way to identify them.
