Modify the Name of Instance

1. Select "Product Services" > "Baidu Load Balance (BLB)". The BLB list is displayed.

2. Click the ID link in the "Load balance ID/Name" column to enter the instance details page. On the instance details page, click the < Change> button next to "Name" to modify the BLB instance name in the pop-up interface.

   

3. After naming according to the prompting naming convention, click "Confirm" to finish the modification.

Modify the IP Address of the BLB Instance

Before changing the IP address, users need to create an EIP instance and configure the accounting method of the EIP instance. Replace the existing EIP instance with the new EIP instance.

Note:

• Users cannot modify the accounting method of an EIP instance that has been created.
• When replacing EIP instances, users should avoid affecting current services. Take the website site as an example. If the domain name of the website is resolved to the IP address of the current BLB instance by DNS, the DNS should be resolved to other public network BCC instances in order to ensure that the current service is not affected. The DNS resolution is changed to the EIP IP address of the current BLB instance after the BLB instance replaces the EIP.

1. Create an EIP instance and configure the accounting method for the new EIP instance as required by users.

2. Find the BLB instance whose IP address needs to be replaced, and click the icon shown below to unbind the EIP instance.

   

3. Refresh the BLB instance list. When the status of the BLB instance is "No Public IP", you can bind a new EIP instance to it. Click the icon shown in the figure below > "Select a new EIP Instance" > "OK" to bind a new EIP instance to BLB.

   

Change Bandwidth Peak

To change bandwidth peak, users need modify bandwidth peak of EIP instance bound to BLB instance.

1. Select "Product Services" > "Elastic IP (EIP)" to enter EIP instance list.
2. Find EIP instance bound to BLB instance (you can find EIP instance based on IP address or BLB instance name), and click "Bandwidth Upgrade".

3. Enter bandwidth configuration interface and adjust bandwidth according to actual needs.

   

4. Complete order confirmation according to prompt message.
