Traffic shaper: Pipe, Queues and Rules !

[Mastah]

Hi,

I've just moved from pfsense to opnsense, like a week ago. So far, so good !
I was just wondering if there was any possibility to visualize which queue is been used (and by how much pps).
In pfsense there was a status screen where you could do such a thing.

It would help me greatly to check if my bandswitch is used properly and is going through the proper queue !

So far, I' haven't been able to find such a screen !
If no such screen exist, is there a possibility via ssh console to lookup for it ?

Regards.

Hi there,

Firewall: Traffic Shaper: Status doesn't show what you're looking for? Shaper in OPN is Limiter in pf so "Shaper" status may not be on par with what pf used for reading ALTQ ?

Not really.
The status seem to be only showing the defined setup, not how are used queue/pipe

Limiters:

q75536  50 sl. 0 flows (1 buckets) sched 10000 weight 0 lmax 0 pri 0 droptail
 sched 75536 type FIFO flags 0x0 0 buckets 0 active

q75537  50 sl. 0 flows (1 buckets) sched 10001 weight 0 lmax 0 pri 0 droptail
 sched 75537 type FIFO flags 0x0 0 buckets 0 active

Queues:

Yes, but only when there's also current traffic .. and only for the second it's called .. so no graphing etc.

[Mastah]

When there is traffic, they log I copied don't move. And i'm sure the queue are used because I can slow down the trafic from 1Gbe/s to 150Mbyte/s.
But still, the same output.

@Franco,

can you post up an example of how to create it? Documentations on the wiki is a bit confusiing. I'm trying to do this traffic shaking for guest vlan too and never been sucessful at it.

could you make a simple tutorial for like 50mb/10mb pipe for guest vlan ?

thanks

[mimugmail]

1. create a pipe for download, set to 50mbit
2. create a pipe for upload, set to 10mbit
3. create a rule for download, set interface GuestLAN, set direction out, set destination IP your GuestLAN
4. create a rule for upload, set interface GuestLAN, set direction in, set source IP your GuestLAN

Should be enough for this case

awesome! does this apply only traffic to WAN. or Does applies to local traffic as well?

[mimugmail]

Since you bound it in tab rules to Guest VLAN interface it's just for Guest

[cardins2u]

Heres what I have so far. I cannot find set direction like you stated.

[cardins2u]

YAY I got it working

@Franco !!!!

We should add Alias to Traffic Shaping too! SO we can have multiple sources nets.

[franco]

Yes, as firewall alias API progresses we can talk about this feature.
