Locate the Elastic IPs option on the EC2 dashboard and click on it.

This will list the already created Elastic IP addresses.


Allocate a new Elastic IP address.

The new address will be shown in the list.


Associate the address with the network interface.

Select the address. Then select Actions > Associate Elastic IP address. A window to enter the required options opens.

In the window,

  • select your network interface from the drop-down menu,
  • connect the public address to the private address of the interface, and 
  • click on Associate to complete the step.
