Queue Tree with more than two interfaces
Basic Setup
This page will tak about how to make QUEUE TREE in RouterOS that with Masquerading for more than two interfaces. In manual this possibility isn't writted
First, let's set the basic setting first. I'm using a machine with 3 or more network interfaces:
[admin@instaler] > in pr # NAME TYPE RX-RATE TX-RATE MTU 0 R public ether 0 0 1500 1 R wifi1 wlan 0 0 1500 2 R wifi2 wlan 0 0 1500 3 R wifi3 wlan 0 0 1500
And this is the IP Address for each interface:
[admin@instaler] > ip ad pr Flags: X - disabled, I - invalid, D - dynamic # ADDRESS NETWORK BROADCAST INTERFACE 0 10.10.1.0/24 10.10.1.0 10.10.1.255 public 1 10.10.2.0/24 10.10.2.0 10.10.2.255 wifi1 2 10.10.3.0/24 10.10.3.0 10.10.3.255 wifi2 3 10.10.4.0/24 10.10.4.0 10.10.4.255 wifi3
Don't forget to set the transparant web-proxy
[admin@instaler] > ip web-proxy pr
enabled: yes
src-address: 0.0.0.0
port: 3128
hostname: "proxy"
transparent-proxy: yes
parent-proxy: 0.0.0.0:0
cache-administrator: "webmaster"
max-object-size: 4096KiB
cache-drive: system
max-cache-size: none
max-ram-cache-size: unlimited
status: running
reserved-for-cache: 0KiB
reserved-for-ram-cache: 154624KiB
Firewall NAT
Make 2 NAT rules, 1 for Masquerading, and the other for redirecting transparant proxy.
[admin@instaler] ip firewall nat> pr
Flags: X - disabled, I - invalid, D - dynamic
0 chain=srcnat out-interface=public
src-address=172.21.1.0/24 action=masquerade
1 chain=dstnat in-interface=lan src-address=172.21.1.0/24
protocol=tcp dst-port=80 action=redirect to-ports=3128
Mangle Setup
And now is the most important part in this case.
As we will make Queue for uplink and downlink traffic, we need 2 packet-mark. In this example, we use "test-up" for uplink traffic, and "test-down" for downlink traffic.
For uplink traffic, it's quite simple. We need only one rule, using SRC-ADDRESS and IN-INTERFACE parameters, and using PREROUTING chain. Rule number #0.
But for downlink, we have to make sevaral rules. As we use masquerading, we need Connection Mark, named as "test-conn". Rule no #1.
Then we have to make 2 more rules. First rule is for non-HTTP connection / direct connection. We use chain forward, as the data traveling through the router. Rule no #2.
The second rule is for data coming from web-proxy to the client. We use OUTPUT chain, as the data coming from internal process in the router itself. Rule no #3.
For both rules (no #2 and #3) we named it "test-down".
Please be aware, we use passthrough only for connection mark (rule no #1).
[admin@instaler] > ip firewall mangle print
Flags: X - disabled, I - invalid, D - dynamic
0 ;;; UP TRAFFIC
chain=prerouting in-interface=lan
src-address=172.21.1.0/24 action=mark-packet
new-packet-mark=test-up passthrough=no
1 ;;; CONN-MARK
chain=forward src-address=172.21.1.0/24
action=mark-connection
new-connection-mark=test-conn passthrough=yes
2 ;;; DOWN-DIRECT CONNECTION
chain=forward in-interface=public
connection-mark=test-conn action=mark-packet
new-packet-mark=test-down passthrough=no
3 ;;; DOWN-VIA PROXY
chain=output out-interface=lan
dst-address=172.21.1.0/24 action=mark-packet
new-packet-mark=test-down passthrough=no
Queue Tree Setup
And now, the queue tree setting. We need one rule for downlink and one rule for uplink. Be careful when choosing the parent. for downlink traffic, we use parent "lan", the interface name for local network. And for uplink, we are using parent "global-in".
[admin@instaler] > queue tree pr
Flags: X - disabled, I - invalid
0 name="downstream" parent=lan packet-mark=test-down
limit-at=32000 queue=default priority=8
max-limit=32000 burst-limit=0
burst-threshold=0 burst-time=0s
1 name="upstream" parent=global-in
packet-mark=test-up limit-at=32000
queue=default priority=8
max-limit=32000 burst-limit=0
burst-threshold=0 burst-time=0s
You can use those mangle also with PCQ.
