Create a Virtual IP

On the main menu of ZStack Cloud, choose Resource Center > Network Service > Basic Network Service > VIP. On the VIP page, click Create VIP. Then, the Create VIP page is displayed.

On the displayed page, set the following parameters:
  • Name: Enter a name for the virtual IP address (VIP).
  • Description: Optional. Enter a description for the VIP.
  • Network: Select an L3 network you created. The L3 network can be a public network, flat network, or a VPC network.
    • VIPs created in a public network can provide EIP and load balancing services for flat networks.
    • VIPs created in a public network can provide EIP, port forwarding, load balancing, and IPsec tunnel network services for VPC networks.
    • VIPs created in a VPC network can provide load balancing services for VPC networks.
    • VIPs created in a flat network can provide EIP and load balancing services for flat networks.
  • Network Range: Optional. Select a network range.
    Note:
    • If you selected an IPv4 public network, you can select a normal network range or an address pool. If you selected an IPv6 public network, you can only select a normal network range.
    • If you selected an IPv4 or IPv6 public network, you can only select a normal network range.
    • If you selected an IPv4 VPC network, you can only select a normal network range.
  • Assign IP: Optional. You can assign a virtual IP address.
    Note: If left blank, the system automatically assigns a VIP.
  • VIP QoS: You can limit the network bandwidth of public VIPs and flat network VIPs. You can set the QoS for a custom VIP when you create the VIP or after the VIP is created.
    Note:
    • You can set multiple QoS rules for a public VIP and flat network VIP. The QoS rule in which the port is unspecified has the lowest priority.
    • You cannot set QoS rules for a VPC VIP.
    • Add VIP QoS: Optional. You can set multiple QoS rules for a VIP.
    • Port: Optional. Specify a port to set QoS rule for the port.
      Note:
      • Enter an integer that ranges from 1 to 65535.
      • If left blank, the QoS rule takes effect on ports from 1 to 65535.
    • Upstream Bandwidth: Optional. Set the upstream bandwidth for a VIP.
      Note:
      • Enter an integer. Unit: Kbps, Mbps, and Gbps.
      • If left blank, the upstream bandwidth is not limited.
    • Downstream Bandwidth: Optional. Set the downstream bandwidth for a VIP.
      Note:
      • Enter an integer. Unit: Kbps, Mbps, and Gbps.
      • If left blank, the downstream bandwidth is not limited.
