Configuration Basics

Medianova CDN Configuration Basics document is designed to help you understand and implement the fundamental configurations necessary to leverage the full potential of Medianova's Content Delivery Network (CDN). Whether you are a web developer, content creator, or IT professional, this guide will walk you through essential concepts and steps to optimize content delivery, enhance performance, and improve user experience.

Creating a Medianova CDN Resource

To get started with Medianova CDN, follow these steps:

1. Log in to www.cloud.medianova.com with your username and password.

2. Click on the Create CDN Resource tab in the left menu.

3. Choose any resource type and fill in the necessary fields.

4. Create a resource and configure the necessary settings.

5. The resource you created will be in a "pending" status. Below is information about the resource statuses:

About the status of resources

• Pending: The URL entered by the user is marked as "Pending" until the DNS resolution is complete. In this state, the domain name provided by the user has not yet been resolved to an IP address. While the DNS resolution process is ongoing, the resources are not yet accessible through the CDN.

• Active: Once the DNS resolution for the URL is successfully completed, the resource status changes to "Active." In this state, the domain name has been resolved to an IP address, and the resource is accessible via the CDN. The resource is activated across all data centers and is optimized to provide the best performance to users.

• Passive: If the resource becomes unavailable for any reason, the resource status changes to "Passive." In this state, the resource is inactive, and users cannot access it.

Configuration

The CDN URL and the ORIGIN URL below are examples.

Origin URL	http://yourdomain.com
CDN URL	yourresourcename.mncdn.com

You must replace the existing domain on website code with the CDN URL for contents that you want to serve from CDN.

Examples of HTML code illustrating how to configure a CDN URL with the Origin URL:

Origin URL

<img src=”http://yourdomain.com/images/logos/logo.jpg” alt=”” />

or

<img src=”/images/logos/logo.jpg” alt=”” />

CDN URL

<img src=”yourresourcename.mncdn.com/images/logos/logo.jpg” alt=”” />

Source codes are replaced with the CDN URL instead of the Origin URL as mentioned above.

Thus, our CDN service becomes active on your site.

In order to access your content, you also need to define our IPs in your firewalls. Click to access the IP list of Medianova.
