Binding an EIP to an ECS

Scenarios

This section describes how to bind an EIP to an ECS by calling APIs.

Prerequisites

• You have created an ECS. For details, see section "Purchasing an ECS with Customized Configurations" in the Elastic Cloud Server User Guide.
• If you use a token for authentication, you must obtain the token and add X-Auth-Token to the request header when making an API call. Obtain the token by following instructions in section Authentication.
  

  The token obtained from IAM is valid for only 24 hours. If you want to use a token for authentication, you can cache it to avoid frequent calling.

Procedure

1. Obtain the NIC information based on the ECS ID. For details, see section "Querying a Port" in the Virtual Private Cloud API Reference.
   1. Send GET https://VPC endpoint/v1/project_id/ports?device_id=ecs_id. Parameter project_id indicates the project ID.
   2. Add X-Auth-Token to the request header.
   3. Check the response message.
      • The request is successful if the following response is displayed.

2. Assign an EIP.
   1. Send POST https://Endpoint/v1/project_id/publicips. Parameter project_id indicates the project ID.
   2. Add X-Auth-Token to the request header.
   3. Specify the following parameters in the request body:

      {     
           "publicip": {         
               "type": "5_bgp",         
               "ip_version": 6        
        },    
           "bandwidth": {        
               "name": "bandwidth123",        
               "size": 5,         
               "share_type": "WHOLE", 
               "id":"ebfa375c-3f93-465e-81a3-bd66e578ee9d"
