      Hi,

      Is it possible to limit/shape traffic within specific VLANS?

      Example: 2 ISP(ISP1=30Mbps down/30Mbps up) (ISP2=20Mbps down/20Mbps up)

      VLAN100 - 192.168.100.0/24
      VLAN200 - 192.168.200.0/24

      Any suggestion on how to shape traffic with my setup? As much as possible to evenly share Bandwith.

      Or dynamically shape bandwith if only small users are using the internet.

      Regards,

        You're probably looking at it from the wrong end.
        What you want to do is outbound load balancing. Be prepared that every single connection can only transmit through one WAN at a time, regardless of saturation.

          Hi jahonix thanks for your reply. I see is it possible if i have Dual WAN and allocate each WAN to a VLAN? Regards.

            You can policy route any traffic sourced from anywhere out any single WAN or a loadbalanced group of them.

            What you cannot do is combine, say, two 20Mbit circuits into something that will look like one 40Mbit circuit.

            DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!

              I think you can somewhat combine bandwith he said he is using loadbalance heres the youtube vids https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FggkvJhz3Ls on this he just didnt share his config.

                You can distribute states across multiple WAN interfaces using a load-balancing gateway group to help distribute load across them but you cannot combine two circuits into anything that looks like one.
