Traffic shaper issue with wireless bridged to lan
-
can some1 plz let me know the way to do the following, i have searched all threads but cant find a solution.
basically my wireless is bridged to lan and lan gives out ip using dhcp but no matter whatever type of rules i create all wireless traffic goes to the default queue but not absed on how its working for lan clients so i just have 3 questions
- is it possible to shape traffic on bridged interfaces?
- if i want to shape wireless traffic which is bridged to land then then in interface being wan, what should be the out interface, wireless or lan coz with selecting lan wireless traffic doesnt go to the queue which i have created but goes to default queue?
3)what should be the destination, lan subnet or wireless subnet when source *
im using 1.2.3 release on a alix box
-
no1 to reply?
-
queue that u mean was traffic shaping ??
if yes, check what port that u used.
coz, TS based on it. -
lan traffic results in proper queues and gets shaped but its the wireless bridged to lan which always results in the default queue no matter if im surfing, port 80 or doing anything else regarding different ports but inspite of rules and queues for port 80 wireless bridged traffic still goes to default queue.
-
for now, i assumed u had 3 interfaces, 1 WAN 1 LAN 1 Wifi, wifi and lan bridged, did i right??
-
the interfaces in use r WAN, LAN, wireless and wireless is bridged to LAN so its right.
plz check the queue list thats being used and works fine for lan clients but not for wireless bridged to lan
-
what do your rules look like?
-
below r the rules
-
so where is the opt1 (wifi) rules described?
-
I don't see anything that would make LAN traffic any different from wireless traffic. In fact, I don't see what you mean when you say that LAN traffic is being shaped properly - it looks like port 80 should go on default queue regardless. What are you trying to shape to what queues?
-
so where is the opt1 (wifi) rules described?
If wireless is bridged to LAN, he shouldn't need any.
-
basically this is the default config and i want this to work for wireless clients also, now if i add wireless rules as in wan to wireless then till then wireless will go to queues i add but on reboot of the alix then no wireless client will be able to surf, they get ip from dhcp but no data transfer so if i have wan to opt1 and opt1 to wan rules that makes all data transfer for wireless clients stop.
i read on some older posts that if wireless is bridged to lan then those lan rules r supposed to apply for wireless also as the lan interface is the one giving out ips to wireless.
-
Correct, as far as I know (not wireless rules needed.) That said, can you describe what you are trying to do? (e.g. what traffic and what queues?)
-
basically i want the wireless bridged to lan to follow the same queues i have added for lan but thats not the case, whatever i do from wireless goes to the default queue not the ones i have added which work perfectly for LAN
-
i want the default queue for p2p traffic and works for lan clients but not for wireless bridged to lan
-
You still have not described what traffic you are trying to put into what queues. Without that it is hard to help you :(
-
wtf? first you say you want p2p traffic in the default queue for lan and then you complain that wireless is going in the default queue, unlike lan. ???????
-
all lan http traffic goes to qlandef/qwandef as i want it
but all wireless http traffic doesnt go to qlandef/qwandef but it goes to the default queue, qP2PUp/qP2PDown
-
Oh, eek. I just noticed you have the P2P queues set as default? Why??? the landef and wandef queues are normally the default queues - who knows what you are breaking by changing that. The shaper wizard has all kinds of settings for P2P - do those not do what you want?
-
basically i had ran the wizard the first time i used pfsense then did a lot of modifications manually and i want higher priority for web, mail etc as u see from rules and rest all go to low priority p2p default queue.
i read long time back in some post that just putting things i want to run smooth in higher priority and leave the less as default will result in all p2p going to default queue being a way to properly route actual torrent traffic to lowest priority and i prefer to use it this way.
