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 Description

   Module	Parameter	Description	Example Value
   Basic Configuration	Region	Mandatory For details about regions, see Selecting a Region.	CN East-Shanghai1
   Basic Configuration	City	Mandatory A global internet bandwidth can only be shared by global EIPs from its same city.	Shanghai
   Basic Configuration	Type	Select Global EIP or Global EIP range.	Global EIP
   Basic Configuration	Version	Select IPv4 or IPv6.	IPv4
   Basic Configuration	Global EIP Type	Mandatory You can select: Static BGP Dynamic BGP Reverse resolution is not supported for static single-line IP addresses (non-cloud vendor IP addresses). 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.	-
   Basic Configuration	Mask Length	This parameter is available only when Type is set to Global EIP range. You can call the following API obtain all available mask lengths: GET /v3/{domain_id}/global-eip-segments/support-masks	24
   Global EIP Configuration	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 (.).	g-eip01
   Global EIP Configuration	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
   Global EIP Configuration	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.	-
   Global EIP Configuration	Quantity	This parameter is available only when Type is set to Global EIP. Number of global EIPs to be assigned.	3
   Global Internet Bandwidth Configuration	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
   Global EIP Configuration	Tag	Global EIP tags, including keys and values. The tag key and value must meet the requirements listed in Table 2.	Key: geip_1 Value: 184.100.101.102
   Global Internet Bandwidth Configuration	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.	-
   Global Internet Bandwidth Configuration	Billing Mode	You can select: Yearly/Monthly Pay-per-use	Pay-per-use
   Global Internet Bandwidth Configuration	Bandwidth Type	You can select: Standard IPv6 Static Bandwidth	Standard
   Global Internet Bandwidth Configuration	Billed By	This parameter is available only when Billing Mode is set to Pay-per-use. You can select: 95th percentile bandwidth (standard) 95th percentile bandwidth (bidirectional)	95th percentile bandwidth (standard)
   Global Internet Bandwidth Configuration	Guaranteed Bandwidth	This parameter is available only when Billing Mode is set to Pay-per-use. The system automatically generates the guaranteed bandwidth percentage based on what you select for Billed By.	0%
   Global Internet Bandwidth Configuration	Bandwidth (Mbit/s)	The bandwidth size in Mbit/s.	300
   Global Internet Bandwidth Configuration	Required Duration	The duration for which the yearly/monthly global EIP will be used.	1 month
   Global Internet Bandwidth Configuration	Upon Expiration	This parameter must be specified if the Billing Mode is set to Yearly/Monthly. The value can be one of the following: Change to pay-per-use Auto-renew Enter grace period	Change to pay-per-use

   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 128 characters. Can contain letters, digits, underscores (_), and hyphens (-). Cannot start with _sys_ or a space or end with a space.	geip_1
   Value	Can contain a maximum of 255 characters. Can contain letters, digits, underscores (_), periods (.), hyphens (-), and cannot start or end with a space.	184.100.101.102

3. Click Next.
4. Confirm the configurations and select "I have read and agree to the Elastic IP Service Statement."
   • If you set Billing Mode to Pay-per-use, click Submit.
   • If you set Billing Mode to Yearly/Monthly, click Pay Now.

     On the payment page, confirm the order information, and click Pay.

   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.

Related Operations

• (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.
