Binding a NIC to an ECS¶
Scenarios¶
If an ECS requires multiple NICs, you can call the API for creating NICs and bind them to the ECS.
Note
You can bind a NIC by setting the nics parameter during ECS creation or bind a NIC after the ECS is created. This section describes how to bind a NIC to a created ECS.
Involved APIs¶
Binding a NIC involves the following APIs:
API for creating a network
API for creating a subnet
API for creating a port
API for binding a NIC to an ECS
API for viewing ECS NICs
Procedure¶
Create a NIC.
