Assigning a Global EIP

Scenarios

This section describes how to assign a global EIP. Global EIPs can be bound to cloud instances (such as ECSs or load balancers) from any region so that these instances can access the Internet. You can specify the access point, type, and global EIP pool based on your service requirements on Internet access.

If you want to assign a global EIP, submit a service ticket to apply for permissions.

Procedure

1. Go to the Assign Global EIP page.
2. Configure the parameters based on Table 1.

   Table 1 Parameter descriptions

   Parameter	Description	Example Value
   Region	Mandatory A global EIP can only be added to a global internet bandwidth from its same region. For details about regions, see Selecting a Region.	CN East-Shanghai1
   City	Mandatory A global internet bandwidth can only be shared by global EIPs from its same city.	Shanghai
   Type	Select Global EIP or Global EIP range.	Global EIP
   Version	Select IPv4 or IPv6.	IPv4
   Global EIP Type	Mandatory Dynamic BGP is supported by default. After you select a global EIP pool, the system will allocate a global EIP to you from the pool. Select a resource pool close to your business to minimize the latency.	-
   Global Internet Bandwidth	Mandatory Assign now: Select this option if you want to purchase a new global internet bandwidth. Use existing: Select this option if you want to add the global EIP to an existing global internet bandwidth for internet access.	-
   Billing Mode	Pay-per-use is selected by default.	Pay-per-use
   Bandwidth Type	The bandwidth type. Standard is selected by default.	Standard
   Billed By	You can select: 95th percentile bandwidth (standard)	95th percentile bandwidth (standard)
   Guaranteed Bandwidth	The system automatically generates the guaranteed bandwidth percentage based on what you select for Billed By.	0%
   Bandwidth (Mbit/s)	The bandwidth size in Mbit/s.	300
   Global EIP Name	Optional Enter the name of the global EIP. The name: Must contain 0 to 64 characters. Can contain letters, digits, underscores (_), hyphens (-), and periods (.).	geip-test
   Enterprise Project	The enterprise project that the global EIP belongs to. An enterprise project facilitates project-level management and grouping of cloud resources and users. The default project is default. For details about creating and managing enterprise projects, see the Enterprise Management User Guide.	default
   Advanced Settings	Click the drop-down arrow to configure parameters, including the bandwidth name and tag.	Retain the default settings.
   Bandwidth Name	Optional Enter the name of the bandwidth. The name: Must contain 0 to 64 characters. Can contain letters, digits, underscores (_), hyphens (-), and periods (.).	ibw-test
   Tag	Global EIP tag, which consists of a key and value pair. The tag key and value must meet the requirements listed in Table 2.	Key: geip_1 Value: 184.100.101.102
   Monitoring	This function is free. With Cloud Eye, you can monitor: Network traffic at one-minute intervals. Bandwidth fluctuations and inbound and outbound bandwidth rates.	-
   Quantity	Number of global EIPs to be assigned.	3

   Table 2 Naming rules for global EIP tags

   Parameter	Requirement	Example Value
   Key	Cannot be left blank. Must be unique for a global EIP. Can contain a maximum of 36 characters. Can contain letters, digits, underscores (_), and hyphens (-).	geip_1
   Value	Can contain a maximum of 43 characters. Can contain letters, digits, underscores (_), periods (.), and hyphens (-).	184.100.101.102

3. Click Next.
4. Confirm the configurations and click Submit.

   The global EIP list is displayed.

5. In the global EIP list, view the global EIP status.

   If the status of the global EIP is Unbound, the EIP is assigned successfully.

• (Mandatory) Global EIPs cannot be used independently. You need to bind them to cloud instances, such as ECSs and load balancers. For details, see Binding a Global EIP to an Instance.
• (Mandatory) After a global EIP is bound to an instance, you need to bind a global connection bandwidth to the global EIP. For details, see Adding Instances to a Global Connection Bandwidth.
