13. • You can not use multiple IP address
with normal EC2 instances, user
VPC .
– Make VPC
– Check to accept internet access ,
0.0.0.0/0 points to Internet Gateway .
– ①When you make an EC2 instance, in
Step 3: Configure Instance Details,
you point the VPC in Network field .
– ②Public IP to YES
– ③In Network interfaces, set Primary
IP and Secondary IP addresses. (The
secondary IP address seems not
refrected)
– Causion: 1=DGW ans 2=DNS in 4th
octet is reserved .
• Connect to the instance using RDP .
– Set the server interface .
– Only primary IP was set via DHCP, you
set 2nd IP by your hand .
– The 2nd IP is EC2's Elastic IP .
