Binding and Unbinding an EIP

Scenarios

After you create a GeminiDB Redis instance, you can bind an EIP to it to allow external access. If later you want to prohibit external access, you can also unbind the EIP from the DB instance.

Precautions

• To change the EIP that has been bound to a node, unbind it from the node first.
• You need to estimate the bandwidth required by services and purchase an EIP with sufficient bandwidth resources. Client access exceptions caused by poor public network performance will not be included in the SLA.

Binding an EIP

1. Log in to the GeminiDB console.
2. In the service list, choose Databases > GeminiDB.
3. On the Instances page, locate the instance that you want to bind an EIP to and click its name.
4. In the Node Information area, locate the target node and click Bind EIP in the Operation column.
