This topic describes how to associate an elastic IP address (EIP) with a Server Load Balancer (SLB) instance. After you associate an EIP with an SLB instance, the SLB instance can forward requests from the Internet.
Procedure
- Log on to the Elastic IP Address console.
- In the top navigation bar, select the region where the EIP is deployed.
- On the Elastic IP Addresses page, find the EIP that you want to manage, and click Bind Resource in the Actions column.
- In the Bind Elastic IP Address to Resources dialog box, set the following parameters and click OK.
| Parameter |
Description |
| Instance Type |
Select SLB Instance. |
| Select an instance to bind |
Select the SLB instance to be associated with the EIP.
Make sure that the following requirements are met:
- The SLB instance is deployed in a virtual private cloud (VPC).
- The SLB instance and EIP belong to the same region.
- Each SLB instance can be associated with only one EIP.
Note If you associate the EIP with an internal-facing SLB instance and the SLB instance has traffic of private network workloads, transient connections may occur. We recommend that you perform the association during off-peak hours or switch the workloads to another SLB instance.
