How Do I Assign or Retrieve a Specific EIP?
If you want to retrieve an EIP that you have released or assign a specific EIP, you can use APIs by setting the value of ip_address to the one that you want to assign. For details, see Elastic IP API Reference.

- If the EIP has been assigned to another user, you will fail to assign your required EIP.
- You cannot use the management console to assign a specific EIP.
