Bind or unbind EIPs

This topic describes how to associate or dissociate an elastic IP address (EIP) with or from a virtual private cloud (VPC).

Prerequisites

The user that you use has been granted permissions to manage VPCs. User admin can manage all VPCs in your cluster. Project administrators and operators can manage the VPCs created on their own and have read-only permissions on the VPCs created by other users. Project viewers can view only the VPCs created in the projects to which they belong.

Associate or dissociate from the list of VPCs

1. Log in to the KSV web console.

2. In the top navigation bar, click Virtual Resources to go to the management page of virtual resources.

3. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Networks > VPCs to go to the VPC management page.

4. Find the VPC that you want to manage, click on the right side, and then select Associate EIP or Dissociate EIP from the drop-down list.

   The EIP cannot be restored after it is dissociated. Exercise caution when you perform this operation.
