What Are the Differences Between EIPs, Private IP Addresses, and Virtual IP Addresses?

An EIP can be used to access the Internet and can only be bound to one BMS.

A private IP address is used for communication within an internal network and cannot be used to access the Internet.

Virtual IP addresses, also called floating IP addresses, are used for active and standby switchover of servers to achieve high availability. If the active server is faulty and cannot provide services, the virtual IP address is dynamically switched to the standby server to provide services.
