Geo∕CIDR Map

Available in Classic and VPC

To create a traffic policy applying a geolocation or CIDR load balancing algorithm, you must first create a map suitable for the algorithm. Map is made up of multiple zones, and a map can be created at the user's convenience by assigning Regions or IP address bandwidth to zones. You can set the maps created in multiple traffic policies.
You can create maps and manage them in the Geo/CIDR Map menu.
