Elastic Compute Service:AttachNetworkInterface

Last Updated:Sep 29, 2024

Attaches an elastic network interface (ENI) to an Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instance that resides in a virtual private cloud (VPC). When you call this operation, you can specify parameters, such as NetworkInterfaceId, InstanceId, and NetworkCardIndex, in the request.

Operation description

Take note of the following items:

  • The ENI must be in the Available state. You can attach an ENI to only one instance that resides in the same zone and VPC as the ENI.

  • The instance must be in the Running or Stopped state. When you attach ENIs to instances of specific instance types, make sure that the instances are in the Stopped state. For more information, see the "Instance types of the ECS instances that must be in the Stopped (Stopped) state" section in the Bind an ENI topic.

Note If the last start time of the instance (including the start time of the instance if it is a new instance, the last restart time of the instance, and the last reactivation time of the instance) is before April 1st, 2018 and the instance is in the Running state, you must call the RebootInstance operation to restart the instance. If you do not call the RebootInstance operation to restart the instance, you cannot attach the ENI to the instance.
  • You can attach multiple ENIs to one instance. For more information, see ENI overview.

  • The vSwitch to which the ENI is connected must be in the same zone and VPC as the vSwitch to which the instance is connected.

  • This operation is an asynchronous operation. After you call this operation to attach an ENI, you can view the status or events of the ENI to check whether the ENI is attached. The following figure shows the transitions between the statuses of the ENI.

  • If the ENI is in the Attaching state, the ENI attachment request is sent and the ENI is being attached to the specified instance.
  • If the ENI is in the InUse state, the ENI is attached to the specified instance.
  • If the ENI is in the Available state, the ENI failed to be attached.

For examples on how to call this operation, see Attach an ENI.

Debugging

OpenAPI Explorer automatically calculates the signature value. For your convenience, we recommend that you call this operation in OpenAPI Explorer.

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.
