# Changing an IP Address

#### Scenarios

ELB allows you to change private IPv4 addresses of load balancers. New private IPv4 addresses can be from the current subnet or other subnets.

#### Changing a Private IPv4 Address

1. Log in to the management console.
2. In the upper left corner of the page, click and select the desired region and project.
3. Hover on in the upper left corner to display Service List and choose Network > Elastic Load Balancing.
4. On the Elastic Load Balancers tab page, locate the load balancer whose IP address you want to change, and click More > Change Private IPv4 Address in the Operation column.
5. In the Change Private IPv4 Address dialog box, select the subnet where the IP address resides and specify the IP address.
   - To use an IP address from another subnet, select Automatically-assigned IPv4 address. The system automatically assigns an IPv4 address for your load balancer.
   - To use another IP address from the current subnet, specify an IP address.
6. Click OK.
