Add tags to an Anycast EIP

Anycast elastic IP addresses (EIPs) support tags. You can tag Anycast EIPs to facilitate resource search and management.

Descriptions of the tag feature

As the number of Anycast EIPs increases, it becomes more difficult to manage Anycast EIPs. You can use tags to group Anycast EIPs. This facilitates resource search and management.

Tags are used to classify instances. Each tag consists of a key-value pair. Before you use tags, take note of the following limits:

Each tag key added to an instance must be unique.
You cannot create tags without adding them to instances. All tags must be added to instances.
Tag information is not shared across regions.
For example, tags created in the China (Hangzhou) region are not displayed in the China (Shanghai) region.
You can modify the key and value of a tag or remove a tag from an instance. If you delete an instance, all tags added to the instance are deleted. This operation does not affect the tags added to other instances.

Limits

You can add at most 20 tags to each Anycast EIP. You cannot increase the quota.

Log on to the Anycast EIP console.
On the Anycast Elastic IP Addresses page, find the Anycast EIP, move the pointer over in the Tags column, and then click Bind or Edit in the pop-up box.
If the Tags column is not displayed, click in the upper-right corner of the Anycast EIP page.

In the Configure Tags dialog box, specify the key and the value, and click OK.
