Associate an EIP with an SLB instance
Overview
This topic describes how to associate an elastic IP address (EIP) with a Server Load Balancer (SLB) instance. After you associate an EIP with an SLB instance, the SLB instance can forward requests from the Internet.
Prerequisites
A CLB instance is required. For details, see the CRE User Guide - Creating a SLB Instance for step-by-step instructions.
Procedure
- On the EIP page, click the Binding Resource button in the operation column.
- On the Bind elastic public network IP to resources section, configure the parameters.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Instance Type | Select SLB Instance. |
| Select an instance to associate. | Select the SLB instance with which you want to associate the EIP. The SLB instance must meet the following requirements: ● The SLB instance must be deployed in a virtual private cloud (VPC). ● The SLB instance and the EIP must belong to the same region. ● You can associate only one EIP with each SLB instance. Note When you associate an EIP with an internal-facing SLB instance, your service will be temporarily interrupted. Therefore, we recommend that you perform this operation during off-peak hours or use another SLB instance to serve your workloads before the operation is completed. |
3. On the Bind elastic public network IP to resources section, click the OK button.
4. Once the IP address is successfully bound, its status has been updated to Bind.
