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, load balancers, and NAT gateways.

URI

POST /v1/{project_id}/publicips

Request Message

• Request parameter

  Table 2 Request parameter

  Name	Mandatory	Type	Description
  publicip	Yes	publicip object	Specifies the EIP object. For details, see Table 3.
  bandwidth	Yes	bandwidth object	Specifies the bandwidth object. For details, see Table 4.
  enterprise_project_id	No	String	Specifies the enterprise project ID. The value is 0 or a string that contains a maximum of 36 characters in UUID format with hyphens (-). When you assign an EIP, associate an enterprise project ID with the EIP. If this parameter is not specified, the default value is 0, which indicates that the default enterprise project is used. NOTE: This parameter is unsupported. Do not use it.

  Table 3 Description of the publicip field

  Name	Mandatory	Type	Description
  type	Yes	String	Specifies the EIP type. The value can be 5_bgp (Dynamic BGP), 5_mailbgp (Mail BGP), or 5_gray (Dedicated load balancer, shared load balancer). Constraints: The configured value must be supported by the system. publicip_id is an IPv4 port. If publicip_type is not specified, the default value is 5_bgp.
  ip_address	No	String	Specifies the EIP to be assigned. The system automatically assigns an EIP if you do not specify it. The value must be a valid IPv4 address in the available IP address range.

  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 1000 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. Possible values are as follows: PER: Dedicated bandwidth WHOLE: Shared bandwidth If this parameter is set to WHOLE, the bandwidth ID must be specified.
  charge_mode	No	String	The value is traffic, indicating that the billing is based on traffic.

Response Message

• Response parameter

  Table 5 Response parameter

  Name	Type	Description
  publicip	publicip object	Specifies the EIP object. For details, see Table 6.

  Table 6 Description of the publicip field

  Name	Type	Description
  id	String	Specifies the unique identifier of an EIP.
  status	String	Specifies the EIP status. Possible values are as follows: FREEZED (Frozen) BIND_ERROR (Binding failed) BINDING (Binding) PENDING_DELETE (Releasing) PENDING_CREATE (Assigning) PENDING_UPDATE (Updating) DOWN (Unbound) ACTIVE (Bound) ELB (Bound to a load balancer) ERROR (Exceptions)
  type	String	Specifies the EIP type. The value can be 5_bgp (Dynamic BGP), 5_mailbgp (Mail BGP), or 5_gray (Dedicated load balancer, shared load balancer). Constraints: The configured value must be supported by the system. publicip_id is an IPv4 port. If publicip_type is not specified, the default value is 5_bgp.
  public_ip_address	String	Specifies the obtained EIP if only IPv4 EIPs are available.
  ip_version	Integer	Specifies the IP address version. The value can be 4 or 6. 4: IPv4 6: IPv6 (IPv6 is not supported currently.)
  tenant_id	String	Specifies the project ID.
  create_time	String	Specifies the time (UTC) when the EIP is assigned.
  bandwidth_size	Integer	Specifies the bandwidth (Mbit/s).
  enterprise_project_id	String	Specifies the enterprise project ID. The value is 0 or a string that contains a maximum of 36 characters in UUID format with hyphens (-). When you assign an EIP, associate an enterprise project ID with the EIP. If this parameter is not specified, the default value is 0, which indicates that the default enterprise project is used. NOTE: This parameter is unsupported. Do not use it.
