Modifying an EIP Bandwidth
Scenarios
No matter which billing mode is used, if your EIP is not added to a shared bandwidth, it uses a dedicated bandwidth. A dedicated bandwidth can control how much data can be transferred using a single EIP.
This section describes how to increase or decrease the dedicated bandwidth size. Changing bandwidth size does not change the EIPs.

Decreasing bandwidths may cause packet loss.
Billing Mode |
Billed By |
Change |
Impact |
---|---|---|---|
Yearly/Monthly |
Bandwidth |
Increase bandwidth |
The change will take effect immediately. The increased bandwidth will be billed accordingly. |
Bandwidth |
Decrease bandwidth upon renewal |
The change will not take effect immediately.
You need to select a new bandwidth size and a renewal duration. The change will take effect in the first billing cycle after a successful renewal.

|
Pay-per-use |
Bandwidth |
Increase or decrease the bandwidth |
The change will take effect immediately.
CAUTION:
The pay-per-use (billed by bandwidth) billing mode is based on the fixed bandwidth you purchased. If the actual bandwidth used exceeds the purchased one, no extra charges will apply, but the network quality may be affected. You are advised to plan the bandwidth based on actual service requirements. |
Traffic |
Increase or decrease the bandwidth |
The change will take effect immediately. The bandwidth size you set is only used to limit the maximum data transfer rate. |
Procedure
- Go to the EIP list page.
- Locate the target EIP and choose More > Modify Bandwidth in the Operation column.
- If it is a pay-per-use EIP, the Modify Bandwidth page is displayed.
- If it is a yearly/monthly EIP, select either of the following method to increase or decrease the bandwidth and click Continue.
- Increase bandwidth
- Decrease bandwidth
- Modify the bandwidth parameters as prompted.
- Click Next.
