1. Navigate to Product & Service > Baidu Load Balancer (BLB) to view the BLB list.
2. On the Instance Details page, click the Modify button next to Name to rename the BLB instance in the pop-up window.

Modify BLB instance IP address

Before changing the IP address, you must create a new EIP instance, set its billing type, and replace the currently assigned EIP instance with the new one.

Note:

• The billing type of an existing EIP instance cannot be altered.
• When replacing an EIP instance, minimize the impact on current operations. For example, if a website domain name is tied to the current BLB instance’s EIP via DNS, first redirect DNS resolution to another public EIP address. Once the EIP replacement is complete, update the DNS resolution to point to the new BLB instance EIP.
• To change the private IP address, submit a ticket request.

1. Create a new EIP instance and configure its billing type based on operational needs.

2. Identify the BLB instance requiring an IP change, click the specified icon, and unbind the EIP instance.

   

3. Update the BLB instance list. When the BLB instance status shows "No Public IP," you can bind a new EIP instance. Click the appropriate icon, select the newly created EIP instance, and click OK to complete the binding process.

   

Change bandwidth
