Addition： multiple IP in EC2 Windows SV

• 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 .
