EIP

EIP (Elastic IP) is a type of NAT IP that enables communication between a server and the public network by binding to a server and NAT mapping the EIP to the private address of the server. An EIP can only bind one server.

Entry: In the cloud management platform, click the top left corner of navigation menu, and click “Compute/Networks/EIP” menu item in the left menu bar that pops up to enter the EIP page.

Create EIP

This function is used to create an EIP.

Create EIP for On-premise

Before creating EIP for On-premise, please make sure you have created an IP subnet of EIP type.

1. On the EIP page, click the “All” or “On-premise” tab at the top, and click the “Create” button at the top of the list to enter the Create On-premise EIP page.
2. Configure the following information.
   • Specify Project: Specify the project that the EIP belongs to when creating a new EIP.
   • Region: Select the region to which the EIP belongs.
   • Name: Set the name of the elastic public network IP.
   • Line Type: You can filter IP subnets according to line type to create EIP of specified line type. default line type is empty, that is, do not follow up the line type to filter IP subnets, and will randomly assign EIP from all IP subnets of EIP type.
   • Specify IP subnet: Select VPC (only default VPC is supported) and IP subnet, if you want to specify static IP, click “Configure IP manually” button to set IP address, click “OK” button.
   • Billing type: Currently, only per-bandwidth billing is supported.
   • Bandwidth Peak: Set the maximum bandwidth supported by the EIP.
3. Click the “OK” button to complete the operation.

Create EIP for Private Cloud

Before creating a new Private Cloud Platform EIP, please ensure that you have a cloud account of the corresponding platform.

1. On the EIP page, click the “Private Cloud” tab at the top, and click the “Create” button at the top of the list to enter the Create EIP for Private Cloud page.
2. Configure the following information.
   • Specify Project: Specify the project to which the EIP belongs when creating a new EIP.
   • Region: Select the region to which the EIP belongs. The region can be used to determine the platform to which the private cloud belongs and the private cloud cloud account to which the disk is created.
   • Name: Set the name of the EIP.
   • Specify IP subnet: Select VPC and IP subnet. If you want to specify static IP, click “Configure IP manually” button to set IP address and click “OK” button.
3. Click the “OK” button to complete the operation.

Create Public Cloud Platform EIP

Before creating a new public cloud platform EIP, please ensure that you have a cloud account for the corresponding platform.

1. On the EIP page, click the “Public Cloud” tab at the top, and click the “Create” button at the top of the list to enter the Create Public Cloud Platform EIP page.
2. Configure the following parameters.
   • Specify Project: Specify the project to which the EIP belongs when creating a new EIP.
   • Region: Select the region to which the EIP belongs. You can filter the appropriate region by city and platform quickly.
   • Name: Set the name of the EIP.
   • Billing type: You can select billing by traffic or billing by fixed bandwidth. - Billed by traffic: charge by actual transmission traffic, which can limit the peak bandwidth to avoid the cost of unexpected traffic, and will drop packets when the instantaneous bandwidth exceeds the value, suitable for the occasion of large network fluctuation. - Billed by bandwidth: billing by transmission rate, choose a fixed bandwidth, will drop packets when the bandwidth exceeds the value, suitable for scenarios with less network fluctuations.

     Note

     • Elastic public IP for AWS, Azure, Google, and Tencent cloud platforms only support billed by traffic.
     • The public cloud platform’s EIP will be charged hourly for EIP when it is not bound to a server after it is created, and will not charge for EIP after it is bound to a server, only for bandwidth and traffic.
   • Bandwidth: Set the maximum bandwidth supported by the EIP.
   • Cloud Subscription: Specify the cloud subscription for creating EIP.
3. Click the “OK” button to complete the operation.

Modify Bandwidth

This function is used to modify the bandwidth of the EIP.

1. On the EIP page, click the “Modify Bandwidth” button on the right column of the EIP to bring up the Modify Bandwidth dialog box.
2. Modify the bandwidth value and click the “OK” button.

Bind

Bind the EIP to the server so that the server can communicate with the public network. The EIP and the server need to belong to the same project in the same region to bind.

1. On the EIP page, click the “More” button on the right action bar of EIP, and select the drop-down menu “Bind” menu item to bring up the Bind dialog box.
2. Select the server, the server drop-down box displays a list of all servers that can be bound to this EIP, click the “OK” button.

Unbind

This function is used to unbind the EIP from the server, and the unbinded EIP can be assigned to other servers.

Change Project

The project is the owner of the resource, and users can change the project to which the resilient public IP belongs according to their needs. Only the members in the project can use the EIP resources in the project they belong to.
