Create and manage bandwidth plans

Updated at:

Cloud Phone provides a standard network that requires a bandwidth plan for internet access. A bandwidth plan lets you set a peak bandwidth and configure instance-level rate limits. This topic describes how to create and manage bandwidth plans.

Create a bandwidth plan

  1. Log on to the Cloud Phone console.

  2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Network & Security > Bandwidth Plan.

  3. On the Bandwidth Plan page, click Create Bandwidth Plan.

  4. In the Create Bandwidth Plan panel, configure the following parameters and click OK.

    Important

    You cannot delete a bandwidth plan after it is created. Proceed with caution.

    Parameter

    Description

    Example

    Regions

    The region where the bandwidth plan is located. Select the same region as the Cloud Phone instance group or matrix that will use this plan.

    China (Hangzhou)

    Bandwidth Plan Name

    The value must be 2 to 30 characters in length. It must start with a letter or a Chinese character, cannot start with http:// or https://, and can contain only Chinese characters, letters, digits, colons (:), underscores (_), periods (.), and hyphens (-).

    Demo

    Billing Method

    Only subscription is supported.

    Subscription

    Peak Bandwidth

    The value can range from 50 to 3,072 Mbps.

    50

    Private CIDR Block

    We recommend that you use 192.168.0.0/16, 172.16.0.0/12, or 10.0.0.0/12. Because cloud phone instances may be distributed across different zones, we recommend that you adjust the subnet mask bits to ensure that the maximum number of available private IPs is at least twice the target number of cloud phone instances.

    192.168.0.0/16

    Duration

    Select a subscription duration and specify whether to enable Auto-renewal.

    1 Month

    After you create the bandwidth plan, you can select it when you create a Cloud Phone instance group or matrix.
