Using Huawei Cloud AAD

Scenario

If you use Huawei Cloud Advanced Anti-DDoS (AAD) to ensure service continuity of a website whose domain name is resolved to a server deployed in the Chinese mainland, you must comply with the ICP filing requirements below.

You can see how AAD works for security protection in Figure 1.

1. Configure the website domain name www.example.com, to connect the website to Huawei Cloud AAD, and resolve the domain name to the advanced anti-DDoS IP address.

2. When users access the website using www.example.com, to protect services on the origin server from heavy-traffic DDoS attacks, AAD redirects all Internet traffic to the high-defense IP address for traffic filtering.

If www.example.com is resolved to a server deployed in the Chinese mainland, you need to apply for an ICP filing from the server provider.

ICP Filing for Domain Names

Table 1 describes the ICP filing information of website domain names.

Adding Huawei Cloud as a Service Provider

For websites that use Huawei Cloud AAD to ensure service continuity, if the origin server is:

• Hosted on Huawei Cloud

  If a top-level domain name is hosted on Huawei Cloud, then you must apply for an ICP filing for the top-level domain name in the Huawei Cloud (Chinese mainland) ICP filing system.

• Not hosted on Huawei Cloud

  If neither the top-level domain name nor its sub-domain name is resolved to a server deployed on Huawei Cloud, you do not need to add Huawei Cloud as a new service provider through Huawei Cloud (Chinese mainland) ICP filing system.

  If the sub-domain name is resolved to a server deployed on Huawei Cloud, you shall add Huawei Cloud as a new service provider through Huawei Cloud (Chinese mainland) ICP filing system.
