How Do I Enable Public Access to a Dedicated HSM Instance?

Prerequisites

You have an EIP that can be bound to the Dedicated HSM instance.

For details about how to apply for an EIP, see .

Constraints

• After an EIP is bound to a Dedicated HSM instance, public network attacks may occur. Exercise caution when binding an EIP to a Dedicated HSM instance.
• EIPs are charged resources. You need to configure EIPs as required. If you do not need EIPs, unbind them in a timely manner. For details about how to unbind EIPs, see . If the EIP is not released after unbinding, Huawei Cloud will charge the IP address retention fee. If a pay-per-use EIP billed by bandwidth is unbound from an instance, the bandwidth will continue to be billed. For details, see Why Am I Still Being Billed After My EIP Has Been Unbound or Released?
