Copy Private IP - Application Migration Service

Copy Private IP

Choose whether you want AWS Application Migration Service to ensure that the private IP used by the test or cutover instance matches the private IP used by the source server.

Dropdown menu for selecting private IP option with warning about EC2 Launch Template.

AWS Application Migration Service (AWS MGN) will monitor the source server on an hourly basis to identify the private IP. AWS MGN will use the private IP of the primary network interface.

The No option is chosen by default. Click No if you do not want the private IP of the test or cutoverr instance to match that of the source machine.

Click Yes if you want to use a private IP. The IP will be shown in brackets next to the option.

Note

If you clicked Yes, ensure that the IP range of the subnet you set in the EC2 launch template includes the private IP address.

Note

If the both the source server and the test or cutover instance shares the same subnet though a VPN, then the source private IP is already in use, and the Copy private IP option should not be used.
