Description

Preparations

Before using cloud services, sign up for a HUAWEI ID and enable Huawei Cloud services.

Step 1: Create a VPC and Subnet
Create a VPC with an IPv4 CIDR block and create a subnet in the VPC.
  • VPC IPv4 CIDR block: 192.168.0.0/16
  • Subnet IPv4 CIDR block: 192.168.0.0/24

Step 2: Buy an ECS

Buy an ECS in the subnet you have created and configure security group rules for the ECS.

Step 3: Buy an EIP and Bind It to the ECS

Buy an EIP and bind it to the ECS so that the ECS can access the Internet.

Step 4: Test Network Connectivity

To test ECS connectivity, you can:

  1. Log in to the ECS from the local PC.
  2. Access the Internet from the ECS using an EIP.
