After you use Sec-Traffic Manager to create a scheduling rule for a domain name, you must update the CNAME record of the domain name to reroute website traffic to Sec-Traffic Manager. The rule takes effect only after you update the CNAME record. This topic describes how to use Sec-Traffic Manager to modify the CNAME record of a domain name to reroute traffic. In this example, the DNS resolution service is provided by Alibaba Cloud DNS.

Prerequisites

A scheduling rule is created and the CDN interaction is set up by using Sec-Traffic Manager. For more information, see Sec-Traffic Manager.

Background information

After you create a scheduling rule or set up CDN interaction for a domain name, Sec-Traffic Manager assigns a CNAME record to the domain name. To reroute the inbound traffic by using Sec-Traffic Manager, you must map the protected domain name to the assigned CNAME record.
Note You can query the CNAME record assigned by Sec-Traffic Manager on the Sec-Traffic Manager page.
  • General rules are used to map the domain names of protected cloud resources to the CNAME record of a specific forwarding rule.General rule
  • CDN interaction rules are used to map domain names that have CDN interaction enabled to specific CNAME records assigned by Sec-Traffic Manager.CDN Interaction

In the following example, the domain name is managed by Alibaba Cloud DNS.

If you use third-party DNS services, log on to the system of the DNS provider to modify the DNS records. The following example is for reference only.
