Limiter - can one be shared between multiple interfaces?
-
Guys,
I'm new to this Traffic shaping / Limiting stuff. Read the docs, set it up fine on my simple test system and works as expected.
I need now to implement this in production, where I've got a multi-WAN / multi LAN setup with 15 internal subnets on VLANs.
The requirement is to limit internet upload and download to 2Mbit/s on each subnet. My question is:
Do I have to create 15 separate IN limiters and another 15 separate OUT limiters, each with 2Mbit/s?
or is it enough to create just one IN and one OUT, both at 2Mbit/s, and select the same in the firewall rules of all the interfaces to limit each to 2Mbit/s? -
Its enough to create one.
But even if you need 15 you can use th emask functionality to not need to create that many and resuse the same limiter definition. -
@ermal:

Didn't find any info about emask, I'd like to keep within standard config which can be set up via GUI so that backup config can stay safe.
If I use one single limiter queue for all the 30 directions (15 in + 15 out), will they be limited to 2Mbit/sec all, or each (totalling 30Mbit/sec on WAN side max)? (provided that the same limiter is selected for both in and out and on each subnet interface)Edit: it doesn't let me use the same limiter for in/out, the message is: " In and Out Queue cannot be the same. "
So would it be enough to just create 2 queues like "2mbit_in" and 2mbit_out" and select these on all 15 interfaces? Will these limit at 2Mbit separately or in total?
