Creating a Dedicated Load Balancer and Binding a New EIP to It

Scenarios

Call APIs to create a dedicated load balancer and bind a new EIP to it.

Prerequisites

You have created a VPC and a subnet.

Procedure

  1. Query the subnet you have created.
    1. Send GET https://{vpc_endpoint}/v1/{project_id}/subnets. project_id indicates the project ID.
    2. Add X-Auth-Token to the request header.
    3. Check the response.
      • The request is successful if the following response is displayed:
        {
    "subnets": [
	{
            "id": "0535759e-8104-49d9-902c-a05185a94bdf", // Subnet ID
            "name": "subnet-001", // Subnet name
            "description": "",
            "cidr": "172.16.66.0/24", //IPv4 address range
            "dnsList": [
                "100.125.4.6"
            ],
            "status": "ACTIVE",
            "vpc_id": "44789a9f-3e80-451a-ac03-0818f99b6cdd", // VPC ID
            "ipv6_enable": true,
            "gateway_ip_v6": "2001:db8:a583:37c::1",
            "cidr_v6": "2001:db8:a583:37c::/64",
            "gateway_ip": "172.16.66.1",
            "dhcp_enable": true,
            "primary_dns": "100.125.4.6",
            "availability_zone": "eu-de-01", //AZ of the subnet
            "neutron_network_id": "0535759e-8104-49d9-902c-a05185a94bdf", // Network ID
            "neutron_subnet_id": "1492f0ba-cfce-4e2c-86f7-561d757dfeee", // IPv4 subnet ID
            "neutron_subnet_id_v6": "3c052475-b50b-49b9-abb1-558bad45e592",
            "extra_dhcp_opts": [
                {
                    "opt_value": "8760h",
                    "opt_name": "addresstime"
                }
            ]
        }
    ]
}
      • If the request is abnormal, locate the fault by referring to HTTP Status Codes for Dedicated Load Balancers.
  2. Create a dedicated load balancer and bind a new EIP to it.
    1. Send POST https://{elb_endpoint}/v3/{project_id}/elb/loadbalancers. project_id indicates the project ID.
    2. Add X-Auth-Token to the request header.
    3. Ensure that the following parameters, including publicip, are passed in the request body:
      {
	"loadbalancer": {
            "vpc_id": "e5a892ff-3c33-44ef-ada5-b713eb1f7a8b",

            ],
            "admin_state_up": true,
            "vip_subnet_cidr_id": "1800b6b8-a69f-4719-813d-24d62aaf32bd",

               "bandwidth": {
                   "size": 2,
                   "share_type": "PER",

               }
          }
    }
}
    4. Check the response.
      • The request is successful if the following response is displayed:
