Upload and download speed limit per eth port.

Hello to all!
I am new to mikrotik controllers so I have a question that probably will be easy to answer me.
I want to limit speed (upload/download) on per Eth port of my Routerboard 450.
I dont need any fancy thing with users etc. I am done with these things I only need to restrict maximum dowload and upload per eth port.
Thank you all in advance!

Example to create 512K download /256K upload (as viewed from client) at each port:

/queue simple
add max-limit=256k/512k target=ether1
add max-limit=256k/512k target=ether2
add max-limit=256k/512k target=ether3
add max-limit=256k/512k target=ether4
add max-limit=256k/512k target=ether5

They are listed in reverse in the configuration because the queues are from the viewpoint of the ethernet port, not the client.

And if I want to do this in the graphic interface enviroment of the winbox, where I can find those nice options (if I can) ?
Thank you very much!

From the GUI? Click “New Terminal” :smiley:

Seriously though, follow my script and poke around, this is how one learns! The command line pretty much lines up with the GUI…

/queue simple add max-limit=256k/512k target=ether1

Click on “Queues”, “Simple Queues”, “+”, set “max-limit” “target upload” and “target download” as viewed form the interface’s perspective and then set the “target” to the appropriate interface .

Hi. This limit per interface solution doesn’t work.



Best regards

It works exactly as described. Why don’t you describe what you are trying to do, what steps you took and what results you are seeing?

Hi,

Actually my problem is to limit L2 traffic incomming. I have faced loop ethernet on some of my client networks, this generate high traffic spikes on interfaces on that RB. Main issue is I have mpls-vpls L2 bridge tunnel.
