Traffic Shaping wizard error
-
I had the same issue.
My setup is dual WAN DSL, loadbalanced w/failover pfsense 2.0.1. Each DSL line has at least 6.25Mbps bandwidth.
I resolved it by using the wizard then correcting its mistakes:
- Go to "Firewall > Traffic shaper > By Interface > LAN > qInternet": Check that your total bandwidth is your measured speed 12.58Mbps (approx. 2x your individual line speed)
- Go to "Firewall > Traffic shaper > By Interface > WAN": This is where the wizard screws up. Replace the 1Mb under "bandwidth" with 6.3Mbps (Your measured speed for that line)
- Go to "Firewall > Traffic shaper > By Interface > WAN2": This is where the wizard screws up. Replace the 1Mb under "bandwidth" with 6.3Mbps (Your measured speed for that line)
Basically make sure the bandwidth under LAN fits into the sum of each line's bandwidth.
Then Save, reboot.
So wizard is ok, just fix the couple little mistakes after. Or do it manually, but once you do it with the wiz you can see what needs to be filled out and do it yourself.

Some questions:
1.) is the qLink (default) queue necessary for the LAN interface? It's auto setup by the traffic shaping wizard.
2.) are "drops" in a queue something that should be expected? should they be ignored? or have you found there rarely to be "drops" listed beneath your status > queues? On large file downloads at high speeds I see 5000, 7000+ although the resulting file is fine.
