Good Evening,
Hoping you guys can help, I’ve been working with Mikrotiks for a good number of years, using Winbox so not really familiar with the Terminal side of it.
I am working in connection with an ISP to setup a large network in which there will be 60 or so public IP addresses available to be statically assigned to an individual router i.e. a Draytek or Netgear etc. The core router which is a Mikrotik has been setup and is working I do not have access too. I have setup a second Mikrotik to handle bandwidth control which is also working so there are ultimately two gateways .1 and .2, I can plug the 2nd Mikrotik into the 48-port switch we have which is what the internal routers will be patched into to get out on the internet. This is working after I configured a public IP on the 2nd Mikrotik on the Eth2 interface switched with Eth3 so Eth2 connects to the Core router and Eth3 connects to the 48-port switch.
I am trying to configure the 2nd Mikrotik so that I can control bandwidth per public IP address at first I thought I was on a winner as I setup packet marking on an individual public IP in the mangle area of the IP > Firewall tab within Winbox, I then when to create a Queue Tree for that packet market and limited it to 5-meg. It traffic shapes the upload perfectly ok to 5-meg but the download is still unrestricted for some reason, I’m sure it will probably be something fairly simple but would be grateful if one of you can shed some light on where I am going wrong?
I know I have waffled in a lot in this post but if you kinda understand where I am coming from and what I am trying to achieve I hope you can help.
Please post a reply if you want to know anything else.
