When I am trying to bind the EIP to an Alibaba Cloud ECS Instance it doesn`t work

Question

When I am trying to bind the EIP to an Alibaba Cloud ECS Instance it doesn`t work.

https://vpc.aliyuncs.com/?Action=AssociateEipAddress
&AllocationId=eip-25877c70x
&InstanceId=i-25skktcp4
&CommonParameters

I can`t even ping the IP address, Am I need to convert the public IP to EIP instead of binding new EIP?

If the ECS instance has already public IP you can't attach EIP to that public interface.

You can assign EIP to a running ECS instance without a public IP address.

If you want to bind EIP to a running ECS instance with public IP address first you must stop the instance and attach EIP.
