Disassociate an EIP from a cloud resource

Overview

This topic describes how to disassociate an elastic IP address (EIP) from a cloud resource. After the EIP is disassociated from the cloud resource, the cloud resource can no longer access the Internet by using the EIP. You are still charged a configuration fee for the EIP.

Procedure

1. On the EIP page, click the Unbind button in the operation column.
