Edge Security Acceleration:Lists

Last Updated:Sep 19, 2024

If you want to perform JavaScript validation and bot management for multiple IP addresses or CIDR blocks, you can specify different IP addresses or CIDR blocks in a list. Then, you can reference the list when you configure protection rules such as Web Application Firewall (WAF) or bot management rules. This helps prevent repeated entry of IP addresses or CIDR blocks.

Create a list

  1. Log on to the ESA console.

  2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Global Settings > Lists.

  3. On the Lists page, click Create List.

  4. In the Create List dialog box, configure the parameters.

    Note

    You can configure up to 10 lists for each Alibaba Cloud account.

    IP Address/CIDR Block

    The IP addresses or CIDR blocks that you want to include in the list. You can include up to 500 IP addresses or CIDR blocks in a list. Separate multiple IP addresses or CIDR blocks with commas (,).

Reference a list
