# Configuring DNS

After you have created your service and added a CDN provider, you can start accessing your content. To do so, you first need to set up the default **Traffic Policy**:

1. Navigate to your service.
2. In the sidebar, under **Traffic Steering**, select **Traffic Policies**.
3. Click the **Edit** icon for the default policy.
4. Select the CDNs you would like to use for the default policy and click **Next**.

The default traffic policy is now configured, and traffic can be directed to your service.

Go back to the **Services** tab and copy the CNAME of your service. Within your DNS provider, add a CNAME record for your domain that points to your service CNAME, for example:

```
CNAME www.example.com irtn6xjclw6.ioriveredge.net
```

You can verify your configuration using the **dig** command, for example:

```
dig www.example.com
```

Expected output:

;; ANSWER SECTION: www.example.com. 2722 IN CNAME irtn6xjclw6.ioriveredge.net. irtn6xjclw6.ioriveredge.net. 300 IN CNAME ioriver.map.fastly.net. ioriver.map.fastly.net. 51 IN A 199.232.211.52 ioriver.map.fastly.net. 51 IN A 199.232.215.52

Your content is now being served through your **Flumotion Smart Multi CDN** service. You can add additional configurations, such as domains, origins, and behaviors, as well as additional CDN providers.
