Purchasing the CNAD 2.0

To enable CNAD protection, you need to purchase a CNAD instance.

For details about the functions and specifications of each CNAD 2.0 edition, see Table 1. Purchase an edition based on service requirements.

Table 1 CNAD editions and specifications

Enterprise Edition

SME Edition

Billing Mode

  • The instance is billed on a yearly/monthly basis.
  • Service bandwidth can be billed on a yearly/monthly or pay-per-use basis.
  • The instance is billed on a yearly/monthly basis.
  • The service bandwidth can be billed only on a yearly/monthly basis.

Protected Objects

  • Chinese mainland: Dynamic BGP EIPs and Anti-DDoS Service dedicated EIPs
  • Outside the Chinese mainland: Premium BGP EIPs and Anti-DDoS Service dedicated EIPs

Region

  • Chinese mainland: Cross-region protection is supported.
  • Outside the Chinese mainland: Only Hong Kong and Singapore are supported.
  • Chinese mainland: Cross-region protection is supported.
  • Outside the Chinese mainland: not supported

Protection Capability

  • Chinese mainland: Shared unlimited protection, no less than 20 Gbit/s. If the service bandwidth exceeds the limit, the protection capability drops and ranges from 10 Gbit/s to 20 Gbit/s.
  • Outside the Chinese mainland: carrier-based cross-border protection. If the service bandwidth exceeds the limit, the protection capability drops to 5 Gbit/s.

Chinese mainland: Shared unlimited protection, no less than 20 Gbit/s. If the service bandwidth exceeds the limit, the protection capability drops and ranges from 10 Gbit/s to 20 Gbit/s.

  • When using an Anti-DDoS Service dedicated EIP, extreme scenarios such as network fluctuations may result in traffic being redirected to a standby equipment room with lower protection capabilities, thereby reducing overall protection.
  • After adding a premium BGP EIP to CNAD 2.0, it can defend against attacks originating from China but not those from outside China. The black hole threshold for a premium BGP EIP is low. When the number of attacks outside China exceeds the black hole threshold, the premium BGP EIP will be blocked. To defend against attacks from outside China, purchase an Anti-DDoS Service dedicated EIP and use it with CNAD 2.0.

Prerequisites

  • The account must have the permissions of the CNAD FullAccess and BSS Administrator roles.
  • You have applied for and can use the service edition.

Go to the Buy AAD page, set Instance Type to Cloud Native Anti-DDoS Advanced, and select the specifications.

Purchasing a CNAD Instance

You can purchase instances of different editions based on service requirements.

  1. Log in to the AAD console.
  2. In the upper right corner of the page, click Buy DDoS Mitigation.
  3. Set Instance Type to Cloud Native Protection 2.0.
  4. Set Edition to Enterprise Edition.
  5. Set the specifications parameters. Table 2 describes related parameters.

    Figure 1 CNAD 2.0
    Table 2 Parameters for the enterprise edition

    Parameter

    Description

    Region

    • Chinese mainland: It is applicable to scenarios where service servers are deployed in Chinese mainland. Only dynamic BGP EIPs are supported.
    • Other: It is applicable to scenarios where service servers are located in the Asia Pacific region. Only premium BGP IP addresses 49.0.236.0/22, 49.0.234.0/23, and 49.0.233.0/24 can be protected.

    IP Version

    IP address type. Both IPv4 and IPv6 are supported.

    Protection Times

    Number of attacks that can be protected. The default value is unlimited.

    Billing Mode for Public Network Lines

    Billing mode of public network lines. You can select Yearly/Monthly or Pay-per-use.

    • Yearly/Monthly: You need to pay for a certain period of time in advance. It is charged based on the service bandwidth.
    • Pay-per-use: You are charged based on the clean traffic generated every day. Clean traffic refers to normal service traffic, excluding attack traffic.

    Resource Location

    Select the region where the protected resources are located.

    CNAD 1.0 can only protect cloud resources in the same region. For example, a CNAD instance in CN East-Shanghai1 can protect only cloud resources in CN East-Shanghai1.

    Protected IP Addresses

    The value must range from 50 to 500 and be a multiple of 5.

    Service Bandwidth

    The service bandwidth indicates clean service bandwidth forwarded to the origin server from the AAD scrubbing center. It is recommended that the service bandwidth be greater than or equal to the egress bandwidth of the origin server.

    You can use the service bandwidth exceeding the specified limit for up to 36 hours each month. If usage exceeds 36 hours, the protection capability will decrease.

    Elastic Bandwidth

    The elastic service bandwidth is supported. When the service traffic exceeds the service bandwidth, the instance can be properly protected.

    Daily 95th percentile billing and monthly 95th percentile billing are supported. For details, see How Is Elastic Bandwidth Charged?

  6. Set Instance Name, Required Duration, and Quantity. In the lower right corner of the page, click Next.

    The Auto Renewal option enables the system to renew your service by the required duration when the service is about to expire.

  7. On the confirmation page, confirm your order and click Submit Order.
  8. On the displayed page, click Pay to pay for the order.

    After the payment is successful, the system switches to the instances page. After the instance status becomes Normal, the instance is created.

  9. (Optional) Purchase dedicated EIPs in the required region by referring to Assigning an EIP.

    • Compared with common EIPs, Anti-DDoS Service dedicated EIPs offer enhanced defense against attacks at the Anti-DDoS scrubbing center, along with Terabit-level bandwidth and robust protection capabilities.
    • To apply for an Anti-DDoS Service dedicated EIP, perform the following steps:
    • The following lines are for reference only. The actual lines are listed on the console.
