Bandwidth limit for each IP/Host on Pfsense 2.0 with Bridged Interface
-
Hello folks, I am here to ask you for your help to my problems.
I have this next scenario and I need to limit the bandwidth for my servers on a bridged interface. Here it goes
|LAN| ----> Laptop ~~~~~ ~iNet~ -----> |WAN| ~~~~~ || -->Bridge DMZ to WAN |DMZ|---- | ------------------------------------ | | | --------- ---------- ----------- .... Server1 Server2 Server3
So, having that representation now I ask you:
How could I limit traffic for each and 1 of my servers (upload and download)?I've been trying to do it following this tutorial, but with no success.
http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=28002.0I have also read this message that got me even more confused
http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,1384.msg8196.html#msg8196So please help me understand all this Traffic Shaping.
Thank you

It's all explained in those other threads. Limiters are what you need to do this.

Ok, that is where I get to… I have understood that Limiters will give me what I need, I have been trying/testing it but with no success. What I need is a guide of how to apply them. I just want some guidances, no matter if is a 500 pages book or whatever.
Hope some1 could guide me through this so I can understand better how to work with it.
Tnx,

Ok please ignore my last message. I've "read" or better said "overlooked" the http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Traffic_Shaping_Guide#Limiter for N times, but never like this last time. Until now I was just looking for keywords in that document for what I needed, and didn't read the exact document word by word to fully understand how Limiter works.
I recommend to any1 that will read this, to read again and this time read it not jump from a word to another… so you can understand how Limiter works and how to apply it.
Tnx, jimp.

But I do still have a question.
Having in mind that I trying to limit In and Out traffic by Machine/Host/Ip/Server and that
-
I have a bridged DMZ to WAN
-
I have rules filtering anything from wan to my servers, I mean all traffic is filtered from the internet to my servers
-
I have rules filtering anything going from my servers to the internet
Where exactly should I apply my In/Out rule for my server and in which order? Should it be before any other rules applied to a specific order, or it does not matter?
Thank you,

Hi,
I think you should use floating rules for this.
They apply before interface specific rules.
