Assigning a Virtual Private IP Address

Scenarios

A virtual IP address serves as a secondary IP address for a network interface. A virtual IP address can be bound to multiple cloud servers to improve server availability.

If you want to use a virtual private IP address for a FlexusX instance, apply for a virtual IP address, bind the virtual IP address to the instance, and log in to the instance to manually configure the virtual IP address. This section describes how to use virtual IP addresses. For more information, see Virtual IP Address Overview.

Procedure

1. Log in to the FlexusX console, in the upper left corner, click , and select a region and project.
2. Locate the FlexusX instance and click its name.

   The details page of this instance is displayed.

3. On the Network Interfaces tab, click Manage Virtual IP Address.
4. On the IP Addresses tab, click Assign Virtual IP Address, configure parameters, and click OK.

   You can manually set a virtual IP address, or let the system assign one automatically.

   

5. Click Bind to Instance in the Operation column of the target virtual IP address, select the server to be bound, and click OK.

   

Follow-Up Operations

After a virtual IP address is bound to the network interface of a FlexusX instance, you need to manually configure the virtual IP address bound to the instance. For details, see Configuring a Virtual IP Address for an ECS.
