7.1.1.1. Create Nodes

There is a limitation when creating pool members using FQDN. If your CLoudFront url start with a number, TMOS does not accept the auto-generated object name. To avoid this issue, create a node with a specific a name.

  1. To get your Target Domain Name, open the “Target Domain Names.txt” file located at the Windows desktop.

  2. “Go to Local Traffic > Nodes > Nodes List” and click “Create”

  3. Name: node_YOUR-TARGET-DOMAIN_NAME (e.g.: node_dieixb12vz0gy.cloudfront.net)

    We got this information on step 1.

  4. Auto Populate: Enable

  5. Select FQDN in Address and fill with your YOUR-TARGET-DOMAIN_NAME

  6. Click Finished
