Enabling Internet Access

Scenarios

Administrators can configure a NAT gateway and an elastic IP for each subnet as required. After configurations, all cloud applications in the subnet can access the Internet.

Prerequisites

You have purchased Workspace Application Streaming.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the management console of Workspace Application Streaming as an administrator.
  2. In the navigation pane, choose Application Internet Access Management.
  3. Click Enable Internet. The Internet configuration page is displayed, as shown in Figure 1.

    NAT Gateway Name

    Name of the public NAT gateway.
    • If a public NAT gateway has been configured for the virtual subnet, you do not need to configure this parameter.
    • If no public NAT gateway is configured for the virtual subnet, you need to customize the NAT gateway name. The name can contain a maximum of 64 characters, including letters, digits, underscores (_), and hyphens (-).

    NAT Gateway Specification

    Specifications of the public NAT gateway.

    • If an existing NAT gateway is used, you do not need to configure this parameter.
    • To create an NAT gateway, you need to configure the NAT gateway specifications. There are four specifications of NAT gateways: small, medium, large, and extra-large. You can click Learn more on the page to view details about each specification.

    Small

    EIP Name

    The name of the elastic IP.

    Only letters, digits, hyphens (-), and underscores (_) are allowed.

    Public Network Bandwidth

    Select the bandwidth billing mode based on the service scenario.

    • Billed by bandwidth: You specify a bandwidth limit and pay for the amount of time you use the bandwidth. This works well for workloads with heavy or stable traffic.
    • Billed by traffic: You specify a maximum bandwidth and pay for the outbound traffic you use. This suits workloads with low but fluctuating traffic.

    Billed by traffic

    Bandwidth (Mbit/s)

    Select a bandwidth size.

    • If you select Billed by bandwidth, the bandwidth ranges from 1 Mbit/s to 200 Mbit/s by default. You can customize the bandwidth as prompted.

      If you select Billed by traffic, the bandwidth ranges from 5 Mbit/s to 200 Mbit/s by default. You can customize the bandwidth as prompted.

  5. Click OK.

    After configuring the parameters, you can view the Internet information configured for the corresponding service subnet in the list of application Internet access.

    If the current tenant VPC has multiple service subnets and cloud applications in each service subnet need to access the Internet, enable the Internet for each service subnet by referring to 3 to 5.
