    This topic describes how to associate an elastic IP address (EIP) with an internal-facing Classic Load Balancer (CLB) instance in a virtual private cloud (VPC). CLB is formerly known as Server Load Balancer (SLB). After an EIP is associated with a CLB instance, the CLB instance can forward requests from the Internet.
