An endpoint elastic network interface (ENI) serves as an ingress for the virtual private cloud (VPC) in which the endpoint is deployed. The VPC can use the endpoint ENI to access the associated endpoint service. After you create an endpoint ENI, you can use the private IP address of the ENI or the domain name of the endpoint to access the endpoint service. You can also delete the endpoint ENI that you no longer need.

Operations

Prerequisites

An endpoint is created. For more information, see Create and manage endpoints.

Create an endpoint ENI

When you create an endpoint ENI, make sure that a service resource of the endpoint service is deployed in the zone that you select. Make sure that a vSwitch is created in the zone. For more information, see Create a vSwitch.

  1. Log on to the endpoint console.
  2. In the top navigation bar, select the region where the endpoint is deployed.
  3. On the Endpoints page, click the Interface Endpoint or Reverse Endpoint tab, find the endpoint that you want to manage and click its ID.
  4. On the endpoint details page, click the Zone and ENI tab, and then click Add Zone.
  5. In the Add Zone dialog box, select the zone and the vSwitch to which the endpoint ENI belongs, and click OK.

Delete an endpoint ENI

Warning After you delete all ENIs of an endpoint, the VPC of the endpoint will be unable to access the associated endpoint service. Exercise caution when you perform this operation.
  1. Log on to the endpoint console.
  2. In the top navigation bar, select the region where the endpoint is deployed.
  3. On the Endpoints page, click the Interface Endpoint or Reverse Endpoint tab, find the endpoint that you want to manage and click its ID.
  4. On the endpoint details page, click the Zone and ENI tab. Find the endpoint ENI that you want to delete and click Delete in the Actions column.
  5. In the Remove Zone dialog box, click OK.
