Assigning an EIP

Function

This API is used to assign an EIP.

The EIP service provides independent public IP addresses and bandwidth for Internet access. EIPs can be bound to or unbound from ECSs, BMSs, virtual IP addresses, NAT gateways, or load balancers.

URI

POST /v1/{project_id}/publicips

Table 1 describes the parameters.

Table 1 Parameter description

Name

Mandatory

Type

Description

publicip

Yes

publicip object

Specifies the EIP object. For details, see Table 3.

Yes

bandwidth object

Specifies the bandwidth object. For details, see Table 4.

Table 3 Description of the publicip field

Name

Mandatory

Type

Description

type

Yes

String

  • Specifies the EIP type.

  • The value can be 5_bgp and 5_dualStack.

  • Constraints:

    • The configured value must be supported by the system.

ip_version

No

Integer

  • Specifies the EIP version.

  • The value can be 4 and 6, indicating IPv4 address and IPv6 address, respectively. IPv6 is not supported currently.

  • Constraints:

    • The configured value must be supported by the system.

    • If this parameter is left blank or is an empty string, IPv4 address is created by default.

Table 4 Description of the bandwidth field

Name

Mandatory

Type

Description

name

Yes

String

  • Specifies the bandwidth name.

  • The value can contain 1 to 64 characters, including letters, digits, underscores (_), hyphens (-), and periods (.).

  • This parameter is mandatory when share_type is set to PER. This parameter will be ignored when share_type is set to WHOLE with an ID specified.

size

Yes

Integer

  • Specifies the bandwidth size.

  • The value ranges from 1 Mbit/s to 300 Mbit/s by default. (The specific range may vary depending on the configuration in each region. You can see the bandwidth range of each region on the management console.)

  • This parameter is mandatory when share_type is set to PER. This parameter will be ignored when share_type is set to WHOLE with an ID specified.

  • The minimum increment for bandwidth adjustment varies depending on the bandwidth range. The details are as follows:

    • The minimum increment is 1 Mbit/s if the allowed bandwidth ranges from 0 Mbit/s to 300 Mbit/s (with 300 Mbit/s included).

    • The minimum increment is 50 Mbit/s if the allowed bandwidth ranges from 300 Mbit/s to 1000 Mbit/s (with 1000 Mbit/s included).

    • The minimum increment is 500 Mbit/s if the allowed bandwidth is greater than 1000 Mbit/s.

id

No

String

  • Specifies the bandwidth ID. You can specify an existing shared bandwidth when assigning an EIP.

  • The value can be the ID of the shared bandwidth whose type is set to WHOLE.

share_type

Yes

String

  • Specifies the bandwidth type.

  • The value is PER, indicating that the bandwidth is dedicated.

charge_mode

No

String

  • The value is traffic, indicating that the billing is based on traffic.

  • Example request (IPv4 EIP with dedicated bandwidth)

    POST https://{Endpoint}/v1/{project_id}/publicips
