Geo/CIDR Map

Available in Classic and VPC

To create a Traffic Policy that uses geolocation or CIDR load balancing algorithms, you must first create a Map that matches the selected algorithm. A Map consists of multiple zones. You can create a Map by assigning regions or IP address ranges to each zone based on your needs. You can apply a created Map to multiple Traffic Policies.
You can create and manage Maps in the Geo/CIDR Map menu.
