How Do I Assign or Retrieve a Specific EIP?¶
If you want to retrieve an EIP that you have released or assign a specific EIP, you can use APIs by setting the value of ip_address to the one that you want to assign. For details, see Elastic IP API Reference.
Note
If the EIP has been assigned to another user, you will fail to assign your required EIP.
You cannot use the management console to assign a specific EIP.
