EdgeNext Documentation

Configuration Overview

The EdgeNext CDN console provides a comprehensive set of core configurations for domain management. This document describes the available features to help you quickly adjust base service settings. To modify domain configurations, the accelerated domain must be in Enabled or Configuring status and must not be placed under CDN service suspension.

Basic Configuration

Basic configuration defines the core parameters of your CDN acceleration service (including acceleration region and service type) and origin server settings. These are mandatory configurations for CDN acceleration to take effect.

Configuration Item	Description
Basic Information	View key domain attributes including creation time, last modified time, acceleration region, and service type.
Origin Domain	Supports multi-IP round-robin origin requests, domain-based origin routing, and primary/standby origin failover configurations.Allows customization of origin request protocol and port.

Origin Configuration

Origin configuration allows you to add and modify HTTP headers sent with CDN origin requests. By default, the TCP connection timeout for origin requests is 15 seconds, and the origin read timeout is 2 minutes. All CDN origin requests use byte-range fetch by default. If your origin server does not support range requests, please contact our support team to disable this feature.

Configuration Item	Description
Origin Host Header	By default, the Host header in CDN origin requests matches the accelerated domain name. Use this setting to customize the Host header value.
Origin Request Headers	Add, modify, or remove specified HTTP header fields for origin requests as needed.

Cache Configuration

Define and customize domain-level caching rules to control how CDN edge nodes store and serve your content.

Configuration Item	Description
Cache Rules	Configure custom caching policies with the following parameters:1. Cache match type: File extension, Directory, All files, Exact path2. Cache TTL (time-to-live) / expiration period3. Specific content scope to apply the rule to4. Cache rule priority order5. Query string handling (whether to include query parameters in cache keys and origin requests)

Access Control

Access control rules allow or block client requests to CDN resources by matching key attributes of incoming requests. Currently, IP and Referer-based controls are supported. For additional access control features, please contact our support team.

Configuration Item	Description
IP Allowlist & Blocklist	Configure IP-based access rules to allow or deny requests based on the client IP address in the HTTP request.
Referer Allowlist & Blocklist	Configure Referer-based access rules to allow or deny requests based on the Referer header included in the request.

HTTPS Configuration

The HTTPS acceleration module supports a full range of TLS/SSL configurations. TLS 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2 are enabled by default.

Configuration Item	Description
HTTPS Acceleration	Enable HTTPS acceleration using SSL certificates hosted in the Certificate Management service.
HTTP/2 Support	When enabled, CDN edge nodes accept connections over the HTTP/2 protocol.HTTPS certificate configuration is required prior to enabling HTTP/2.
HTTP to HTTPS Redirect	When a valid certificate is configured, you can enforce automatic redirection of all HTTP requests to HTTPS.
OCSP Stapling	When enabled, the CDN attaches a cached OCSP response to the TLS handshake to reduce handshake latency.HTTPS certificate configuration is required prior to enabling OCSP stapling.

Advanced Configuration

Configuration Item	Description
Response Headers	Customize HTTP response headers that are returned to the client with each response.
Intelligent Compression	Specify file types and content scope for automatic Gzip compression to reduce transfer size and improve page load performance.
