Assigning a Floating IP Address¶

Function¶

When assigning a floating IP address, you need to obtain the external network ID floating_network_id of the floating IP address.

You can use GET /v2.0/networks?router:external=True or run the neutron net-external-list command to obtain the UUID of the external network required for assigning a floating IP address.

Note

Note the following when you use EIPs of the Dedicated Load Balancer (5_gray) type:

In eu-de, EIPs of the Dedicated Load Balancer (5_gray) type cannot be assigned anymore. You can assign EIPs of the BGP (5_bgp) type.
Existing EIPs of the Dedicated Load Balancer (5_gray) type can be bound to dedicated or shared load balancers.
- The EIP console cannot be used to bind EIPs to or unbind them from dedicated load balancers.
- You can use APIs to bind EIPs to or unbind them from dedicated load balancers. For details, see Binding an EIP and Unbinding an EIP.
- EIPs of this type can be bound to or unbound from shared load balancers using the EIP console or APIs.
- You are advised to bind BGP EIPs to or unbind them from dedicated load balancers.
Do not add EIPs of the dedicated load balancer type (5_gray) and other types to the same shared bandwidth. Otherwise, the bandwidth limit policy will not take effect.
