Binding an EIP to or Unbinding an EIP from a GeminiDB Redis Instance Node

Scenarios

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

Usage Notes

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.
Public access reduces instance security. To achieve a higher transmission rate and security level, you are advised to migrate your applications to the ECS that is in the same region as your GeminiDB Redis instance.
A pay-per-use EIP unbound from a GeminiDB Redis instance is still billed. You can release the EIP or bind it to another instance.
Redis Cluster GeminiDB Redis instances do not support this function.

Billing

An EIP can be bound to only one GeminiDB Redis instance. For details, see Bandwidth and IP Address Pricing Details.

Binding or Unbinding an EIP

Log in to the GeminiDB console.
On the Instances page, click the target instance. The Basic Information page is displayed.
In the navigation pane, choose Nodes. In the Node Information area, browse to the target node and click Bind EIP in the Operation column.

Figure 1 Binding an EIP
In the displayed dialog box, view all available EIPs, select the required EIP, and click OK. If no available EIPs are displayed, click View EIP and create an EIP.

Figure 2 Selecting an EIP
In the EIP column, view the EIP that is successfully bound.

To unbind the EIP from the DB instance, see Unbinding an EIP.

Log in to the GeminiDB console.
If a node has been bound to an EIP, click the target instance on the Instances page. The Basic Information page is displayed.
In the navigation pane, choose Nodes. In the Node Information area, browse to the target node and click Unbind EIP in the Operation column.
