Associate or dissociate an elastic IP address with an instance.  

Associating a newly created address

If you just created an Elastic IP and selected Associate this Elastic IP Address from the newly created address prompt, you will be immediately taken to associate this particular address.

In the Associate Elastic IP screen, you will select the resource type you wish to associate the IP address with. We strongly suggest associating with one of the network interfaces for your instance (unless you are creating a standalone SoftNAS instance, and do not plan to make it highly available).
