Adding a Protected Object

After enabling CNAD, you need to add public IP addresses on Huawei Cloud as protected objects to enable protection for these public IP addresses.

Limitations and Constraints

  • The added protected objects (such as ECS, ELB, WAF, and EIP) must be in the same region as the region of the purchased CNAD instance.
  • Unlimited Protection Advanced Edition can protect only dedicated EIPs. Cloud Native Anti-DDoS 2.0 can protect both common and dedicated EIPs.
  • Cloud Native Anti-DDoS 2.0 outside the Chinese mainland can only protect premium BGP IP addresses 49.0.236.0/22, 49.0.234.0/23, and 49.0.233.0/24.

Prerequisites

A protection policy has been created. For details, see Adding a Protection Policy.
