This topic provides answers to some frequently asked questions about Anycast Elastic IP Address (Anycast EIP).
What endpoints can I associate Anycast EIPs with?
Anycast EIPs can be associated with the following resources:
Elastic network interface (ENI)
Classic Load Balancer (CLB) instance in a virtual private cloud (VPC)
Application Load Balancer (ALB) instance (operations supported only on the ALB side)
Network Load Balancer (NLB) instance (operations supported only on the NLB side)
For more information, see Manage endpoints.
Can I associate an Anycast EIP with multiple endpoints?
Yes. Each Anycast EIP can be associated with multiple endpoints in different regions but each Anycast EIP can be associated with only one endpoint within each region.
Do access points of Anycast EIPs respond to Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) ping messages?
No.
