Adding to or Removing from an IPv6 Shared Bandwidth

Scenarios

After you bind an IPv6 address to a load balancer, you can add the load balancer to a shared bandwidth to enable it to route requests over the Internet. After you are finished with the shared bandwidth, you can remove the load balancer from the shared bandwidth, so that it can only route requests within a VPC.

Note

The private IPv4 address is added to a shared bandwidth by default after you create the load balancer.
