Copy Private IP - AWS Transform MGN

NEW - You can now accelerate your migration and modernization with AWS Transform. Read Getting Started in the AWS Transform User Guide.

Copy Private IP

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

AWS Transform MGN monitors the source server on an hourly basis to identify the private IP. MGN uses the private IP of the primary network interface.

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

Choose Yes if you want to use a private IP. The IP is shown in brackets next to the option.

Note

  • Private IP is not supported for IPv6.

  • Removing a private IP from a specific server's settings does not remove it from the launch template.

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

  • 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.
