After you create a Virtual Private Cloud-type (VPC-type) Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instance, you can modify the private IP address of the instance directly or by changing the vSwitch of the instance.

Prerequisites

  • No secondary private IP addresses are configured for elastic network interfaces (ENIs) of the instance.
  • The instance whose private IP address you want to modify is in the Stopped state.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the ECS console.
  2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Instances & Images > Instances.
  3. In the top navigation bar, select a region.
  4. Find the instance for which you want to modify the private IP address and choose More > Network and Security Group > Modify Private IP Address in the Actions column.
  5. In the Modify Private IP Address dialog box, modify the parameters and click Modify.
    • If you want to change the vSwitch, make sure that the selected vSwitch resides within the same zone as the instance.
    • If you do not want to change the vSwitch, modify only the private IP address.
    Modify Private IP Address
  6. Choose More > Instance Status > Start in the Actions column.
    Note The new private IP address takes effect after the ECS instance is restarted.
