Releasing an EIP

Function

This API is used to release an EIP.

Note the following when you use EIPs of the Dedicated Load Balancer (5_gray) type:

• 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.
