Ghost traffic shaping queues??

gniting

I don't have any traffic shapers or limiters configured. I was playing around with them but ended up deleting them all. However, after deleting all shapers, limiters, now when I look at Diagnostics->Limiter Info, I see the following:

Limiters:
No limiters were found on this system.

Queues:
q00002  50 sl. 0 flows (1 buckets) sched 2 weight 1 lmax 0 pri 0 
q00003  50 sl. 0 flows (1 buckets) sched 3 weight 0 lmax 0 pri 0 
q00004  50 sl. 0 flows (1 buckets) sched 4 weight 0 lmax 0 pri 0

Where are these ghost queues coming from and how do I get rid of them?

Might still be remnants of it on your system. What I would do, if you're comfotable in a text editor and working with the backup XML file from your config, is to export that, then edit out the entirety of the shaper stuff.

In the exported config.xml file, look for a section that looks like this:

	<dnshaper>
		<queue>
this is my shaper stuff below here ->
			<name>down-18mb</name>
			<number>1</number>
			<qlimit></qlimit>
			<plr></plr>
		</queue>
	</dnshaper>

Then save the xml file and re-import it back to your system. Should take you less than 10 minutes.

Hope that helps.

I thought about that and did look at the /cf/conf/config.xml file but there's no entry with the word queue anywhere in the file or for that matter limiter!

This is why I am stumped!

Did you do a search for the word "dnshaper"? That's where it lives. There's no use of the word "limiter" as far as I know, in the traffic shaping xml section.

@akuma1x
Yes, the section is empty.

I
I used find / -type f -exec grep -il "q00002" {} \; to search across all files on disk for the pattern q0002... nothing.

You must have something stuck in there somewhere. I just looked on a spare pfsense box I've got, with no traffic shaping setup at all, and this is the result I see in Diagnostics->Limiter Info

Limiters:
No limiters were found on this system.
