Private network CLB is used to distribute requests from Tencent Cloud's private network. It doesn't have a public IP and cannot communicate with the public network. If you need to use a private network CLB instance and want it to communicate with the public network, you can bind it to an EIP for public network access.
Note:
The feature of binding private network CLB with EIP is currently in beta test. To try it out, submit a ticket.
Use Limits
- This feature is supported only for standard accounts but not traditional accounts.
- This feature is supported only for CLB but not classic CLB.
- This feature is supported only for private network CLB instances in VPCs but not in the classic network.
- There are no private network CLB instances in Ji'nan, Hangzhou, Fuzhou, Shijiazhuang, Wuhan, and Changsha regions, so this feature is not supported in these regions.
- After a private network CLB instance is bound to an EIP, the security group of the instance takes effect for traffic from the instance but not from the EIP. After the "Allow by Default" feature is enabled in the security group, it will take effect for both types of traffic.
- Currently, private network CLB doesn't support port ranges.
- A private network CLB instance can only be bound to an EIP that is in the same region and not bound to other resources.
- Each private network CLB instance can only be bound to one EIP.
- After a private network CLB instance is bound to an EIP, its features will be similar to those of a public network CLB instance, but public network CLB cannot be split into private network CLB and EIP.
