A Lingjun Connection offers on-demand provisioning, multi-tenant isolation, deployment in minutes, native high availability, and seamless bandwidth scaling. This topic describes how to purchase and manage a Lingjun Connection.
Limitations
-
When the bandwidth of a Lingjun Connection is <= 400 Gbps, the maximum bandwidth for a single traffic flow is 1/4 of the total bandwidth.
-
When the bandwidth of a Lingjun Connection is > 400 Gbps, the maximum bandwidth for a single traffic flow can reach 100 Gbps.
Manage configured Lingjun Connection instances
-
After you create a Lingjun Connection instance, the system automatically creates four Virtual Border Router (VBR) instances. For more information, see Virtual Border Router (VBR). Each VBR instance is named in the format VBRX_Lingjun-Connection-Instance-ID_Do-not-delete-it_Created-by-System, where X is a number from 1 to 4. Do not modify any configuration of these four VBR instances. Otherwise, the Lingjun Connection may become unavailable.
-
A Lingjun Connection uses the
169.254.128.0/23CIDR block for its interconnect interface IP addresses. Therefore, you cannot use the169.254.128.0/23CIDR block or its subnets for communication over the Lingjun Connection.
-
Log on to the Lingjun console.
-
In the left-side navigation pane, choose Network Resources > Lingjun Connection.
-
Search for a configured Lingjun Connection instance by its instance ID or name.
-
View information about the configured Lingjun Connection, such as Instance ID/Name, CIDR Block, and Bandwidth.
NoteYou can also click Purchase Lingjun Connection to purchase a new Lingjun Connection.
-
In the Lingjun Connection Traffic column, click the
icon to open a real-time monitoring panel for the instance. This panel displays line charts for Normal Traffic Rate (Inbound) and Normal Traffic Rate (Outbound) and allows you to switch the measurement unit (Byte/bit) and select a time range. -
In the Instances area, perform the following operations in the Actions column:
-
Renew.
-
Upgrade. To upgrade the Lingjun Connection, you must first pay for the new configuration. The fee is calculated based on the remaining days of the current subscription period.
-
Downgrade. If you downgrade the Lingjun Connection, the system issues a refund immediately. The refund amount is calculated based on the remaining days of the current subscription period.
-
Manage unconfigured Lingjun Connection instances
An unconfigured Lingjun Connection is a purchased instance that has not yet been assigned to a cluster.
-
In the left-side navigation pane, choose Network Resources > Lingjun Connection.
-
In the Instances to Be Configured, find the target Lingjun Connection instance.
-
For the target Lingjun Connection's Instance ID/Name, in the Actions column, click Configure Lingjun Connection.
-
Configure the Name and Connection Mode for the Lingjun Connection.
Direct VPC connection
The Lingjun Connection connects directly to a single VPC.
ImportantIf you select the Direct VPC Connection method:
-
If the required maximum bandwidth for the Lingjun Connection is greater than 10 Gbps, we recommend that you select the Direct VPC Connection method to avoid performance issues with the CEN-TR. For information about the bandwidth limits of a CEN-TR, see Cloud Enterprise Network limits.
-
You must add a route entry to the VPC to allow it to access the Lingjun Connection. For more information, see Create and manage a route table.
-
You must configure a health check for each of the four VBRs associated with the Lingjun Connection. For more information, see Configure a VBR health check.
-
You must add a route entry to the Lingjun Connection to allow it to access the VPC. For more information, see Create a static route entry.
CEN-TR
With a CEN-TR, the Lingjun Connection can connect to multiple VPCs. For information about CEN billing, see Billing.
ImportantWhen you select CEN-TR as the connection method, the system automatically configures cloud services for the corresponding Cloud Enterprise Network (CEN) instance.
CEN basic edition instances
-
Log on to the Cloud Enterprise Network console.
-
On the CEN Instances page, click the ID of the target CEN instance.
-
On the Basic Information > Transit Router tab, click the ID of the transit router instance in the target region.
-
Click the Access to Cloud Services tab.
-
Verify that two cloud service configurations exist for the
100.64.0.0/11and100.96.0.0/11CIDR blocks.
CEN enterprise edition instances
-
Log on to the Cloud Enterprise Network console.
-
On the CEN Instances page, click the ID of the target CEN instance.
-
On the Basic Information > Transit Router tab, click the ID of the transit router instance in the target region.
-
Click the Transit Router Route Table > Route Entries tab.
-
Verify that a static route entry with the destination CIDR block
100.64.0.0/10exists.
-
-
Configure Network Information Monitoring. Select an existing VPC or create a new one to monitor the connectivity status of the Lingjun Connection. Make sure that a vSwitch within the VPC has at least one available IP address.
-
Click OK to finish the configuration.
Create a static route entry
If you selected the Direct VPC Connection method, you must create a static route entry to allow the Lingjun Connection to access the VPC.
-
In the left-side navigation pane, choose Network Resources > Lingjun Connection.
-
In the Instances area, click the ID or name of the target Lingjun Connection instance.
-
Click the Route Entry tab, and then click Create Route Entry.
-
In the Create Route Entry to VPC panel, enter the Destination CIDR.
-
Click OK to create the route entry.
View Lingjun Connection route entries
-
In the left-side navigation pane, choose Network Resources > Lingjun Connection.
-
In the Instances area, click the ID or name of the target Lingjun Connection instance.
-
Click the Route Entry tab to view information about the Lingjun Connection route entries.
