Binding and Unbinding an EIP

The Elastic IP service provides independent public IP addresses and bandwidth for public access. After you create a GeminiDB Cassandra 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 instance.

Precautions

This function is in the open beta test (OBT) phase. To use this function, contact customer service.
To change the EIP that has been bound to a node, unbind it from the node first.
