Buying a Bandwidth Package

Scenarios

To enable normal communication between regions in the same geographic region or different geographic regions, you need to purchase at least one bandwidth package and bind them to a cloud connection.

Bandwidth packages are used when VPCs are loaded to a cloud connection.

Constraints

  • No bandwidth packages are required if two VPCs are in the same region because they can communicate with each other by default after they are loaded to the same cloud connection.
  • The geographic regions of a bandwidth package cannot be changed after it is purchased.

Buying a Bandwidth Package

  1. Go to the Buy Bandwidth Package page.
  2. Configure the parameters based on Table 1 and click Next.

    Table 1 Parameters for buying a bandwidth package

    Parameter

    Description

    Example Value

    Basic Information

    Billing Mode

    The only option is Yearly/Monthly.

    You can purchase it by year or month as needed.

    Yearly/Monthly

    Name

    Specifies the bandwidth package name.

    The name can contain 1 to 64 characters. Only digits, letters, underscores (_), hyphens (-), and periods (.) are allowed.

    Enterprise Project

    Provides a cloud resource management mode, in which cloud resources and members are centrally managed by project.

    default

    Tag (Optional)

    Identifies the bandwidth package. A tag consists of a key and a value. You can add 20 tags to a bandwidth package.

    The tag key and value must meet the requirements listed in Table 2.

    NOTE:

    If a predefined tag has been created on TMS, you can directly select the corresponding tag key and value.

    For details about predefined tags, see Predefined Tags.

    Billed By

    Specifies by what you want the bandwidth package to be billed.

    Bandwidth

    Applicability

    Specifies whether you want to use the bandwidth package for communication within a geographic region or between geographic regions. There are two options:

    • Single geographic region: Use the bandwidth package between regions in the same geographic region.
    • Across geographic regions: Use the bandwidth package between regions in different geographic regions.

    Single geographic region

    Geographic Region

    Specifies the geographic regions.

    Chinese mainland

    Bandwidth

    Specifies the bandwidth you require for communication between regions, in Mbit/s. The sum of all inter-region bandwidths you assign cannot exceed the total bandwidth of the bandwidth package. Assign the bandwidth based on your network plan.

    Unit: Mbit/s

    10

    Required Duration

    Specifies how long you require the bandwidth package for.

    Auto renewal is supported.

    Cloud Connection

    Specifies the cloud connection you want to bind the bandwidth package to. There are two options:

    • Bind now
    • Bind later

    Bind later

  3. Confirm the configuration and submit your order.

    Go back to the bandwidth package list and locate the bandwidth package. If its status changes to Normal, you can bind the bandwidth package to the cloud connection.
