Function

This API is used to update a floating IP address.

During the update, the ID of the floating IP address must be provided in the URL.

If port_id is left blank, the floating IP address has been unbound from the port.

This API has the following constraints:

If a floating IP address that you are binding is in the error state, unbind the IP address first.
Do not associate a port that has a floating IP address associated to another floating IP address. You must first disassociate the port from the IP address and then associate it with another IP address.
This API cannot be used to bind an EIP to or unbind an EIP from a dedicated load balancer.
In eu-de, EIPs of the Dedicated Load Balancer (5_gray) type cannot be assigned anymore. You can assign EIPs of the BGP (5_bgp) type.
Existing EIPs of the Dedicated Load Balancer (5_gray) type can be bound to dedicated or shared load balancers.
- The EIP console cannot be used to bind EIPs to or unbind them from dedicated load balancers.
- You can use APIs to bind EIPs to or unbind them from dedicated load balancers. For details, see Binding an EIP and Unbinding an EIP.
- EIPs of this type can be bound to or unbound from shared load balancers using the EIP console or APIs.
- You are advised to bind BGP EIPs to or unbind them from dedicated load balancers.

Do not add EIPs of the dedicated load balancer type (5_gray) and other types to the same shared bandwidth. Otherwise, the bandwidth limit policy will not take effect.
