What Data Is Required for Connecting a Domain Name/IP Address to WAF?

Prepare information required for connecting a domain name or IP address to WAF based on the mode of WAF instance you plan to apply for.

The following data is required:

  • Domain name/IP address
  • Port: the service port corresponding to the domain name to be protected. WAF supports non-standard ports.
  • Server information
    • Client Protocol: protocol used by a client to access a server.
    • Server Protocol: protocol over which WAF forwards client requests to the server.
    • Server Address: public IP address (generally corresponding to the A record of the domain name configured on the DNS) or domain name (generally corresponding to the CNAME of the domain name configured on the DNS) of the web server that a client accesses.
    • Server Port: service port over which the WAF instance forwards client requests to the origin server.
  • Certificate: If HTTPS is set for Client Protocol, associate the certificate to WAF.
