Calculating the Number of Reserved IP Addresses

Function

This API is used to calculate the number of reserved IP addresses in the following scenarios:

  • To calculate the number of IP addresses required for adding the first HTTP or HTTPS listener to a load balancer,

    specify loadbalancer_id, leave l7_flavor_id blank, and do not specify ip_target_enable set its value to false.

  • To calculate the number of IP addresses required for changing the flavors of a dedicated load balancer or enabling IP as a Backend for a load balancer, specify loadbalancer_id and l7_flavor_id, and set ip_target_enable to true.

  • To calculate the number of IP addresses required for creating a load balancer, specify availability_zone_id and optional parameters parameters l7_flavor_id, ip_target_enable, and ip_version. Do not pass loadbalancer_id.

Note:

  • The number of reserved IP addresses in the query result is greater than that of the actually used IP addresses.

  • The number of reserved IP addresses is the number of IP addresses used by a load balancer.

Calling Method

For details, see Calling APIs.

URI

GET /v3/{project_id}/elb/preoccupy-ip-num

Table 1 Path Parameters

Parameter

Mandatory

Type

Description

project_id

Yes

String

Specifies the project ID.

Table 2 Query Parameters

Parameter

Mandatory

Type

Description

l7_flavor_id

No

String

Specifies the ID of the load balancer flavor at Layer 7.

If this parameter is passed, the number of reserved IP addresses required for creating a dedicated load balancer with a Layer-7 flavor or for changing the Layer 7 flavor of a dedicated load balancer will be calculated.

Application scenarios: creating a dedicated load balancer with a Layer-7 flavor or changing the Layer 7 flavors of a dedicated load balancer

ip_target_enable

No

Boolean

Specifies whether to enable IP as a Backend.

  • true: The number of reserved IP addresses required for creating a dedicated load balancer with IP as a Backend enabled or for enabling IP as a Backend for an existing dedicated load balancer will be calculated.

  • false: The number of reserved IP addresses required for creating a dedicated load balancer with IP as a Backend disabled or for disabling IP as a Backend for an existing dedicated load balancer will be calculated. If this parameter is not passed, IP as a Backend is disabled.

Application scenarios: creating a dedicated load balancer or changing the flavors of a dedicated load balancer

ip_version

No

Integer

Specifies the IP address version of the load balancer. The value can be 4 or 6.

  • 4: The number of reserved IPv4 addresses required for creating a dedicated load balancer will be calculated.

  • 6: The number of reserved IPv6 addresses required for creating a dedicated load balancer will be calculated.

Application scenario: creating a dedicated load balancer.

loadbalancer_id

No

String

Specifies the load balancer ID. The number of reserved IP addresses required for changing the flavors of a dedicated load balancer or for adding the first HTTP or HTTPS listener to a dedicated load balancer will be calculated.

Application scenario: changing the flavors of a dedicated load balancer or adding the first HTTP or HTTPS listener to a dedicated load balancer

availability_zone_id

No

Array of strings

Calculates the number of reserved IP addresses required for creating a dedicated load balancer in the AZs specified by availability_zone_id.

Application scenario: creating a dedicated load balancer

Constraint: This parameter will not take effect when loadbalancer_id is passed.

Request Parameters

Table 3 Request header parameters

Parameter

Mandatory

Type

Description

X-Auth-Token

Yes

String

Specifies the token used for IAM authentication.

Response Parameters

Status code: 200

Table 4 Response body parameters

Parameter

Type

Description

preoccupy_ip

PreoccupyIp object

Shows reserved IP address information.

request_id

String

Specifies the request ID.

Note: The value is automatically generated.

Table 5 PreoccupyIp

Parameter

Type

Description

total

Integer

Specifies the number of preoccupied IP addresses.
