Modifying the Bandwidth

Scenario

If you set the Network Type of a load balancer to Public IPv4 network or IPv6 network, the load balancer can route requests over the Internet and you can modify the bandwidth used by the EIP bound to the load balancer as required.

When changing bandwidth, you need to change the specifications of the dedicated load balancer to avoid speed limit due to insufficient bandwidth.

• The bandwidth of the EIP bound to the load balancer is the limit for traffic required by the clients to access the load balancer.
• The bandwidth of dedicated load balancers is the maximum value of the total inbound and outbound traffic of the load balancer.

Modifying the Bandwidth

When you modify the bandwidth, traffic routing will not be interrupted.

1. Log in to the management console.
2. In the upper left corner of the page, click and select the desired region and project.
3. Hover on in the upper left corner to display Service List and choose Network > Elastic Load Balancing.
4. On the Load Balancers page:

   Dedicated load balancers: Locate the load balancer and click Modify IPv4 Bandwidth or choose More > Modify IPv6 Bandwidth in the Operation column (if the load balancer has an IPv6 address that has been added to a shared bandwidth).

   Shared load balancers: Locate the load balancer and click Modify IPv4 Bandwidth in the Operation column.

5. In the New Configuration area, modify the bandwidth and click Next.

   You can select the bandwidth defined by the system or customize the bandwidth. The bandwidth ranges from 1 Mbit/s to 1,000 Mbit/s.

6. Confirm the modified bandwidth and click Submit.
