Which electrode (anode or cathode is designated as positive in an electrolytic cell?

Electrodes are part of an electrochemical cell that uses chemical reaction to produce energy, called voltaic cell. The electrode is defined with its flow of current, and according to this it is called a anode or cathode. Anode is designated as positive and attracts electrons (anions). On the other hand, the cathode is designated as negative and attracts positive charge (cations).
