QoS exclusion

[willrj]

From what I've read, QoS allocates available bandwidth among devices in the network identified by IP address or Host name. If I have 30 devices in the network, is there a way to apply QoS on 28 devices and exclude 2 devices from QoS? These 2 devices could be servers that need to have full Internet access all the time.

Depending on your network setup, probably not.
It would be easier to set the servers as priority traffic using appropriate rules.

Thank you, Lantis. Where do I set those rules?

[Lantis]

under the QoS up and download pages.

[willrj]

Do you have a guide on how to set it up?

[willrj]

Never mind. I found how to set it up.

i mean we have this http://www.gargoyle-router.com/wiki/doku.php?id=qos
but it isn't specific to what you want to do. but no guides will be.

If you can have a go and come up with something then we can offer advice on why it does/doesn't work.
