Elastic Compute Service:AssignIpv6Addresses

Last Updated:Nov 01, 2024

Assigns one or more IPv6 addresses to an elastic network interface (ENI).

Operation description

Usage notes

You can specify IPv6 addresses in the CIDR block of the vSwitch to which the ENI is connected. You can also specify the number of IPv6 addresses that the system assigns to the ENI. Take note of the following items:

  • IPv6 must be enabled on the vSwitch to which the ENI is connected. For more information, see Enable IPv6 for a vSwitch.

  • The ENI must be in the Available (Available) or InUse (InUse) state.

  • If you want to assign IPv6 addresses to a primary ENI, make sure that the Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instance to which the ENI is attached is in the Running (Running) or Stopped (Stopped) state.

  • The maximum number of IPv6 addresses that can be assigned to an ENI varies based on the instance type of the instance to which the ENI is attached.

    • If the ENI is in the Available (Available) state, up to 10 IPv6 addresses can be assigned to the ENI.
    • If the ENI is attached to an ECS instance, the maximum number of IPv6 addresses that can be assigned to the ENI varies based on the instance type. For more information, see Overview of instance families.
  • After the operation is called, you can obtain the IPv6 addresses that are assigned to the ENI from the response.

Debugging

You can run this interface directly in OpenAPI Explorer, saving you the trouble of calculating signatures. After running successfully, OpenAPI Explorer can automatically generate SDK code samples.

Authorization information

The following table shows the authorization information corresponding to the API. The authorization information can be used in the Action policy element to grant a RAM user or RAM role the permissions to call this API operation. Description:

  • Operation: the value that you can use in the Action element to specify the operation on a resource.
  • Access level: the access level of each operation. The levels are read, write, and list.
  • Resource type: the type of the resource on which you can authorize the RAM user or the RAM role to perform the operation. Take note of the following items:
    • The required resource types are displayed in bold characters.
    • If the permissions cannot be granted at the resource level, All Resources is used in the Resource type column of the operation.
  • Condition Key: the condition key that is defined by the cloud service.
  • Associated operation: other operations that the RAM user or the RAM role must have permissions to perform to complete the operation. To complete the operation, the RAM user or the RAM role must have the permissions to perform the associated operations.
