In this step, we will attach a public IP to the vNIOS for AWS instance in order to connect to it. This is an optional step and not necessary if you are able to connect to your AWS VPC via VPN, Direct Connect, or jumpbox. First, we will give the eth1 (LAN1) interface a custom name to make it easier to recognize.
On the Instances page, select your instance.
On the Networking tab, locate the LAN1 Interface, and click on the Interface ID.
On the Network Interface page, select the LAN1 interface.
Under the Name column, click the Edit icon.
Enter a name for the interface and click Save.
