Hi

I would like to know if it is possible (im sure it is) to some how limit certain ports and unlimit certain ports. For example, we have ppp profiles limiting clients to 128K, we have our own mail server on the back bone, but now our clients link to that server gets limited to the 128K.

Is it some how possible to not limit port 25 and 110 to the 128K but have them unlimited? If yes, how do I do it?

Thanx
Darren

You may need to stop using the PPP profiles to set the rate limits and configure queue trees. If I can take a look at your configuration I might have a different (much easier) solution but I don't want to promise that unless I'm sure. Just let me know, mikrotik@rikerconsulting.com.

What about a simple queue with the dest address of the mail server. Or was mail just the example, and you specifically need ports?

Would the PPP profile queue not take precedence?

Your dynamic pppoe's will come below. This would mean all client traffic to the mail server IP 1.1.1.2 will be limited to 512k. Thats port 25 and 110, so not sure if thats what 2-Pek wanted.

Hey guys...

Sorry for the l8 reply...I have not been on the forum recently. Been busy with studies and all that.

It wud be one address for the mail server, but that wud only be for outgoing mail, for recieving, the clients have their own email addresses and recieve via multiple servers. I dont even know them all. So I wud need the actualy port to be unlimited bcos then it wud meet the needs for every clients email, but for sending we have our own mail server.

I cant stop PPP connections, but then again thats all i know how to do, I use the ppp connections so our clients can recieve an IP from the server, and thus get routed which ever direction. Ill send u the config, then u can try help me out here ( Jason M. Weber )

Thank You all so much for your replies. I will give it all a shot. But for my recieving end of email for clients, I need 2 know if there is some way to unlimit port 110...else clients will have to sit with slow connection for recieving.

Thanks again
Darren

So what about a queue tree?

Will these new cards ever be supported on 2.8.x or only on the new 2.9.x and when can we expect it to happen ?
