Assigning a Global EIP

Scenarios

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

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

Procedure

  1. Log in to the management console.
  2. Click in the upper left corner and select the desired region and project.
  3. On the console homepage, choose Networking > Cloud Connect.

    The network console is displayed.

  4. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Internet > Global Elastic IPs.

    The global EIP console is displayed.

  5. In the upper right corner of the page, click Assign Global EIP.

    The Assign Global EIP page is displayed.

  6. 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.

    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

  7. Click Next.
  8. Confirm the configurations and click Submit.

    The global EIP list is displayed.

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

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

Follow-Up Procedure

  • (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.
