Virtual Private Cloud:AssociateEipAddress

Last Updated:Mar 04, 2024

Associates an elastic IP address (EIP) with a cloud resource that is deployed in the same region.

Operation description

  • You can associate an EIP with an Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instance, a Classic Load Balancer (CLB) instance, a secondary elastic network interface (ENI), a NAT gateway, or a high-availability virtual IP address (HAVIP) in the same region. The ECS instance and CLB instance must be deployed in a virtual private cloud (VPC).

  • AssociateEipAddress is an asynchronous operation. After you send a request, the system returns a request ID and runs the task in the background. You can call the DescribeEipAddresses operation to query the status of the task.

    • If the EIP is in the Associating state, the EIP is being associated. In this state, you can only query the EIP and cannot perform other operations.
    • If the EIP is in the InUse state, the EIP is associated.
  • You cannot call the AssociateEipAddress operation to associate an EIP with multiple instances at a time.

Debugging

OpenAPI Explorer automatically calculates the signature value. For your convenience, we recommend that you call this operation in OpenAPI Explorer.

Authorization information

The following table shows the authorization information corresponding to the API. The authorization information can be used in the Action policy element to grant a RAM user or RAM role the permissions to call this API operation. Description:

  • Operation: the value that you can use in the Action element to specify the operation on a resource.
  • Access level: the access level of each operation. The levels are read, write, and list.
  • Resource type: the type of the resource on which you can authorize the RAM user or the RAM role to perform the operation. Take note of the following items:
    • The required resource types are displayed in bold characters.
    • If the permissions cannot be granted at the resource level, All Resources is used in the Resource type column of the operation.
  • Condition Key: the condition key that is defined by the cloud service.
  • Associated operation: other operations that the RAM user or the RAM role must have permissions to perform to complete the operation. To complete the operation, the RAM user or the RAM role must have the permissions to perform the associated operations.

Request parameters

ParameterTypeRequiredDescriptionExample
RegionIdstringYes

The ID of the region to which the EIP belongs.

You can call the DescribeRegions operation to query the region ID.

cn-hangzhou
AllocationIdstringYes

The ID of the EIP that you want to associate with an instance.

eip-2zeerraiwb7ujsxdc****
InstanceIdstringYes

The ID of the instance with which you want to associate the EIP.

You can enter the ID of a NAT gateway, CLB instance, ECS instance, secondary ENI, HAVIP, or IP address.

i-2zebb08phyczzawe****
InstanceTypestringNo

The type of the instance with which you want to associate the EIP. Valid values:

  • Nat: NAT gateway
  • SlbInstance: CLB instance
  • EcsInstance (default): ECS instance
  • NetworkInterface: secondary ENI
  • HaVip: HAVIP
  • IpAddress: IP address
Note The default value is EcsInstance. If the instance with which you want to associate the EIP is not an ECS instance, this parameter is required.
EcsInstance
InstanceRegionIdstringNo

The ID of the region in which the instance with which you want to associate the EIP resides.

Note This parameter is required only when the EIP is added to a shared Global Accelerator (GA) instance.
cn-hangzhou
PrivateIpAddressstringNo

The IP address in the CIDR block of the vSwitch.

If you leave this parameter empty, the system allocates a private IP address based on the VPC ID and vSwitch ID.

192.168.XX.XX
ModestringNo

The association mode. Valid values:

  • NAT (default): NAT mode
  • MULTI_BINDED: multi-EIP-to-ENI mode
  • BINDED: cut-network interface controller mode
Note This parameter is required only when InstanceType is set to NetworkInterface.
NAT
VpcIdstringNo

The ID of the VPC in which an IPv4 gateway is created. The VPC and the EIP must be in the same region.

When you associate an EIP with an IP address, the system can enable the IP address to access the Internet based on VPC route configurations.

Note This parameter is required if InstanceType is set to IpAddress, which indicates that the EIP is to be associated with an IP address.
vpc-257gqcdfvx6n****
ClientTokenstringNo

The client token that is used to ensure the idempotence of the request.

You can use the client to generate a token, but you must make sure that the token is unique among different requests. The token can contain only ASCII characters.

Note If you do not specify this parameter, the system automatically uses the request ID as the client token. The request ID may be different for each request.
