Assigning Multiple IPs

You can specify multiple private IPv4 and IPv6 addresses for your instances. The number of network interfaces and private IPv4 and IPv6 addresses that you can specify for an instance depends on the instance type.

Things to note before Assigning Multiple IPs’ to an Instance

  • Classic EC2 instances can only have a single Elastic IP address associated (attached) to them.
  • To have multiple IP addresses associated with your instance. You must use VPC and setup multiple network interfaces on your instance.
