   • Once active, the status of a CNAME record will change to . If the status changes to , verification fails, indicating that no CNAME record is configured for the domain name. If you verified your settings are correct, you can safely ignore this temporary warning.
   • New CNAME records take effect immediately after being added. Modified CNAME records may take up to 72 hours to take effect.
   • If you encounter a resolution conflict, see Rules for Handling Record Set Conflicts.

Step 3 Verifying the CNAME Record

The time it takes for a CNAME record to take effect varies by DNS provider. You can verify if your CNAME record is active by using the following method:

Open the Windows Command Prompt (cmd) and run the following command:

nslookup -qt=cname Acceleration domain name

If the command output returns your copied CNAME, the configuration has taken effect.
