How to Create an Automatic Queue on Mikrotik
To create automatic queues in MikroTik, you can use scripts to simplify the process, especially when managing multiple devices or IPs. Here's a general approach:
Select your DHCP server and add a script in the "Lease Script" section.
Example script:
This script automatically creates a queue for each device that connects to the DHCP server.
Example script:
This script generates queues for a range of IP addresses.
Adjust bandwidth limits (max-limit) as needed.
a simple configuration example is as follows:
1. Using DHCP Lease Script
Go to IP > DHCP Server.Select your DHCP server and add a script in the "Lease Script" section.
Example script:
:if ($leaseBound = 1) do={
/queue simple add name="$leaseActMAC" target="$leaseActIP" max-limit=2M/2M
}2. Batch Queue Creation with a Script
Navigate to System > Scripts and create a new script.Example script:
:for i from=2 to=254 do={
/queue simple add name="User_$i" target="192.168.1.$i" max-limit=1M/1M
}3. Testing and Monitoring
Check the Queues section to ensure the rules are applied correctly.Adjust bandwidth limits (max-limit) as needed.
a simple configuration example is as follows:
# Queue script with burst speed
:local queueName "Client- $leaseActMAC";
:if ($leaseBound = "1") do={
/queue simple add name=$queueName target=($leaseActIP . "/32") parent=interface-name max-limit=1152k/1152k burst-threshold=1280k/1280k burst-limit=1532k/1532k burst-time=40/40 comment=[/ip dhcp-server lease get [find where active-mac-address=$leaseActMAC && active-address=$leaseActIP] host-name];
} else={
/queue simple remove $queueName
}
}
