Scenario

This document guides you on how to change the public network IP address. There are two ways to change the public network IP:

• Directly replace the public network IP
• First change to elastic public network IP, and then Unbind elastic public network IP

Considerations

If you choose Directly replace the public network IP Please note the following:

• No more than 3 times per day for a single account in a single region.
• Single instance Only one replacement is allowed Public network IP.
• The original public network IP will be released after replacement.

If you choose First change to elastic public network IP, and then Unbind elastic public network IP Please note the following:

• When an EIP is bound to a CVM instance, the current public IP address of the instance will be released.
• The number of flexible public network IP for single account and single region quota is 20.

3. EIPs that are not bound to CVMs will incur an idle fee, which is billed on hourly basis.
