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 an EIP to a private network CLB instance is in beta testing. To try it out, please submit a ticket. Use Limits
Region limits
Private network CLB instances are unavailable in Ji'nan, Fuzhou, Shijiazhuang, Wuhan, and Changsha regions. Therefore, this feature is not supported in these regions.
Product attribute limits
This feature is supported only for bill-by-IP accounts but not bill-by-CVM accounts.
This feature is supported only for CLB instances but not classic CLB instances.
This feature is supported only for private network CLB instances in VPCs but not in the classic network.
Feature limits
Currently, private network CLB instances do not support port ranges.
A private network CLB instance can be bound to only an EIP that is in the same region as the CLB instance and not bound to other resources.
Each private network CLB instance can be bound to only 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.
Security group limits
After a private network CLB is bound with an EIP, the security groups of new CLB instances will take effect for the traffic from both the EIP and the private network CLB, while the security groups of existing CLB instances will take effect only for the traffic from the private network CLB. If the existing instances require the security groups to take effect for the traffic from the EIP, you can submit a ticket for request. After a private network CLB is bound with an EIP and enables Bypass Security Group, the traffic from the CLB only needs to be verified by the CLB security group. The security groups of a CVM bypass the traffic from its CLBs by default.
