Releasing a Virtual IP Address

Scenarios

If you no longer need a virtual IP address or a reserved virtual IP address, you can release it to avoid wasting resources.

You can perform operations on virtual IP addresses through the subnet module. However, the entry to visit the subnet module varies by region.

  • If the subnet module is not decoupled from the VPC module in your selected region, you have to visit the subnet module by clicking the Subnets tab on the VPC details page.
  • If the subnet module is decoupled from the VPC module in your selected region, you can visit the subnet module directly after you click Subnets on the navigation pane of the VPC console.

Prerequisites

Before deleting a virtual IP address, ensure that the virtual IP address has been unbound from the following resources:

  • ECS
  • EIP
  • CCE cluster

Procedure

  1. Log in to the management console.
  1. Click in the upper left corner and select the desired region and project.
  2. On the console homepage, under Network, click Virtual Private Cloud.
If you have to visit the subnet module through the VPC details page, perform steps 4 to 7. If you can visit the subnet module directly from the navigation pane on the left, perform steps 8 to 10.
