UAS PRAKTIKUM JARINGAN KOMPUTER | Tutorial Manajemen Bandwidth & Load Balancing

MikroTik Initial Configuration and Setup
📌 The tutorial begins by resetting the MikroTik configuration to its default settings via the System > Reset Configuration menu, confirming with "Yes."
📶 After the reset, the wireless interface (WLAN) is enabled, and a Security Profile named "profile 1" is created using WPA encryption with the password set to "1 sampai 10."
📡 The device scans for available networks, connects to a specific network (e.g., "Oppo A53"), and applies the created security profile.
🌐 DHCP Client is configured for ether1 (WAN interface) and bridge1, obtaining IP addresses automatically. DNS settings are also configured with Cloud settings enabled.

Virtual AP (VAP) Setup and IP Addressing
📡 A Virtual AP named "Agung Master" is created under the Wireless interface settings, utilizing the previously set "profile 1."
🔗 A new IP address, 11.11.11.1/24, is assigned specifically to the bulan2 (Virtual AP) interface.
⚙️ A DHCP Server setup wizard is run specifically for bulan2 to distribute IP addresses to connected clients of the VAP.

Bandwidth Management (QoS) Implementation
⚙️ PCQ Queues are set up for download and upload limits: "PC Download" with a max limit of 3M applied to the destination address, and "PC Upload" with a max limit of 3M applied to the source address.
🔗 A primary queue named "Limitasi Manajemen Bandwidth" is created using PCQ methods, targeting the bulan2 interface.
📊 The download and upload limits within the main queue are explicitly set to 3 Mbps each, confirming successful bandwidth management via speed tests showing results not exceeding 3 Mbps.

Routing and Final Testing
🌐 Routing is configured using the IP > Routes menu, setting up two gateways: one pointing to ether1 and the second pointing to bridge1.
💻 Final testing confirms that disconnecting ether1 (WAN) does not interrupt connectivity on bridge1, with speed tests on the LAN side reaching approximately 40 Mbps.

Key Points & Insights
➡️ Always reset hardware (like MikroTik routers) to default configurations before starting a new setup to ensure a clean slate.
➡️ Use separate security profiles for different wireless networks (e.g., main vs. Virtual AP) for better security segmentation.
➡️ Bandwidth management (QoS) utilizing PCQ queues is crucial for ensuring fair usage, successfully capping speeds at 3 Mbps for testing.
➡️ Implementing dual routing paths (using ether1 and bridge1 as gateways) allows for network redundancy testing.
