Assigning a Floating IP Address

Function

This API is used to assign a floating IP address and associates it with an internal port.

Restrictions

You can use GET /v2.0/networks?router:external=True or run the neutron net-external-list command to obtain the UUID of the external network required for assigning a floating IP address.

The port_id parameter value must be the ECS port ID, which can be obtained from the NIC ID parameter in the ECS NIC details.

URI

POST /v2.0/eip/floatingips_v6

Request Message

• Request parameter

Table 1 Request parameter

Parameter	Type	Mandatory	Description
floatingip	floatingip object	Yes	Specifies the floating IP address list. For details, see Table 2.

Table 2 floatingip objects

Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
id	Yes	String	Specifies the floating IP address ID.
floating_ip_address	No	String	Specifies the floating IPv6 address.
floating_network_id	No	String	Specifies the external network ID. You can only use fixed external network. You can use GET /v2.0/networks?router:external=True or GET /v2.0/networks?name={floating_network} or run the neutron net-external-list command to obtain information about the external network.
router_id	No	String	Specifies the ID of the belonged router.
port_id	No	String	Specifies the port ID.
fixed_ip_address	No	String	Specifies the private IP address of the associated port. This value can only be dynamically assigned by the system.
tenant_id	No	String	Specifies the project ID.
