Configuration Basics

Learn the basic concepts for integrating a CDN Resource with your website or application.

After creating a CDN Resource in the Medianova Control Panel, update your application to deliver content through the CDN instead of your origin server. This page introduces the basic concepts required to configure content delivery and verify that requests are routed through the Medianova CDN.

Understand the resource lifecycle

A newly created CDN Resource progresses through several operational states before it begins serving traffic.

Status
Description

Pending

The resource is being provisioned and is not yet ready to serve traffic.

Active

The resource is fully deployed and available to serve requests through the CDN.

Passive

The resource is disabled or unavailable and cannot serve traffic.

Resource provisioning time depends on the selected product and configuration.

Identify your origin and CDN hostnames

A CDN Resource is identified by two different hostnames.

Hostname
Example
Purpose

Origin URL

https://www.example.com

The source server that stores your content.

CDN Hostname

yourresource.mncdn.com

The hostname that delivers content through the Medianova CDN.

Update your application

Replace references to your origin hostname with the CDN hostname for assets that should be delivered through the CDN.

Before

or

After

After updating these references, requests for the selected assets are served through the CDN instead of directly from the origin.

Allow CDN access to your origin

If your origin server is protected by a firewall or IP allowlist, permit requests from the Medianova CDN.

Use the published list of Medianova edge IP addresses when configuring your firewall.
