Custom List shaping queues – Use Case

Use Case Example

Once you have registered a LucidView  Portal Admin Account  and followed the steps to make your LucidView Enforcer you can start creating custom shaping lists.

We have included the Use Case below as a guideline:

Introduction

A basic example of shaping queues on the Mikrotik using the dynamic address lists from the MikroTik Enforcer Portal is described below.

In this example, Media streaming such as Netflix and Youtube videos should be placed in a lower priority than other traffic. A bit more than half of the line will be guaranteed to normal traffic with the rest being allocated to media streaming. 

Custom list configuration

On the portal, the following configuration will be implemented to tag the multimedia traffic.

The first step is to enable the advanced Custom List option.

Step 1

The first step is to enable the advanced Custom List option.  This is done by ticking the “Saturation Manager” tick box as shown in the image below.

Step 2

Login to the Enforcer or Enforcer Profile that requires the saturation configuration.

You should now see the following page on your portal.

In the bottom right hand side of the screen you will see “Configure Custom List”.  Click on the link.

Step 3

Select the categories you would like to shape.

Remember to check the ‘List Enabled’ box so the list is deployed to the Mikrotik.

Click on the “Update” button to save your configs. 

Now click on the “Saturation Manager Script” button on the bottom left of the screen.

Step 4

Provide your details as and follow the instructions in the screenshot below.  Once completed, click the “Generate & Download Script” button in the bottom right hand corner of the screen.

Once the script has been downloaded to your computer, upload it onto your MikroTik and import.
