Uploadshaping with simple queues does not work

RouterOS General
1

hi all,

I’m using a rb500 with mt router-os v3.0beta7.
It is configured as wlan-accesspoint. therefore eth1&wlan1 are configured as bridge.

the upstream is connected to eth1.
my problem is to shape the upload-speed of the clients which are logged in on interface wlan1

I tried http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/PCQ_Examples but nothing is shaped, here’s my config.:

 queue type print
8 name="256_up" kind=pcq pcq-rate=256000 pcq-limit=50 pcq-classifier=src-address,dst-address pcq-total-limit=2000

here is a example queue but it doesn’t work

queue simple print 
Flags: X - disabled, I - invalid, D - dynamic 
 0    name="queue1" target-addresses=192.168.5.10/32 dst-address=0.0.0.0/0 interface=all parent=none direction=both priority=8 queue=256_up/wireless-default 
      limit-at=0/0 max-limit=0/0 total-queue=default-small

do you have any suggestions?

cheers
chris

Bridge is not the only way to make it work. Try routing, shaping will work, trust me…

Hi Smith,

the problem is that all wlan-accesspoints in our environment are configured as bridge, routing is done by cisco-routers.


Bridge is not the only way to make it work. Try routing, shaping will work, trust me…

does that mean that queues only work in routing-mode?

no you can do traffic shaping in brige mode
try setting the pcq-classifier to just src-address

I am not sure how shaping works in bridge mode, but generaly speaking bridge is bad. Routing gives you wider bandwidth. it doesn’t matter if you have cisco router, noone stops you to make routing on every MT, and have cisco as main router.

I got it!

here’s the solution:
/interface bridge settings set use-ip-firewall=yes

simple as that :laughing:

now the queues are working in bridge mode
