How Do I Configure Non-standard Ports When Adding a Protected Domain Name?
When you add a domain name to WAF, Port must be configured to the service port of your website. You can configure it by referring to the following instructions:
- If Client Protocol is HTTP, WAF protects services on the standard port 80 by default. If Client Protocol is HTTPS, WAF protects services on the standard port 443 by default.
- To configure a port other than ports 80 and 443, select a non-standard port from the Protected Port drop-down list.
Example 1: Protecting Traffic to the Same Standard Port with Different Origin Server IP Addresses Assigned
- Select Standard port from the Protected Port drop-down list.
- Select HTTP or HTTPS for Client Protocol. Figure 1 and Figure 2 show standard port configurations when the client protocol is HTTP or HTTPS.
If Client Protocol is set to HTTPS, a certificate is required.
- Your website visitors can access the website without adding a port to the end of the domain name. For example, enter http://www.example.com in the address box of the browser to access the website.
Example 2: Protecting Traffic to a Non-Standard Port with Different Origin Server IP Addresses Assigned
- In the Protected Port drop-down list, select a non-standard port you want to protect.
- Select HTTP or HTTPS for Client Protocol for all server ports. Figure 3 and Figure 4 show the configuration of non-standard HTTP or HTTPS port, respectively.
If Client Protocol is set to HTTPS, a certificate is required.
- Visitors must add the configured non-standard port to the domain name when they access your website. Otherwise, error 404 is returned. If the non-standard port is 8080, enter http://www.example.com:8080 in the address box of the browser.
