I want to move my bring your own IP addresses (BYOIP) CIDR from one account to another account using the VPC IP Address Manager (IPAM).
Short description
You have provisioned a BYOIP CIDR to an account without using IPAM. Now you want to manage the BYOIP CIDR using IPAM.
Resolution
Note: If you're the IPAM owner, complete steps 1-4. Complete step 5, if you're the BYOIP CIDR owner.
Follow the steps given below to add BYOIP to another account in the Organization:
- Designate an IPAM admin account in the AWS Organization other than the root account. For more information, see Integrate IPAM with accounts in an AWS Organization.
- Use this IPAM Administrator's account to create an IPAM. For more information, see Create an IPAM.
- Create an IPv4 top-level pool. Make sure you meet the following requirements when creating the public pool:
- The pool is a top-level pool.
- The pool is using IPv4.
- The pool must have a locale equal to the region the BYOIP CIDR is in.
- The AWS service for the pool is set to Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2).
- The pool's Public IP source is set to BYOIP.
- Share the IPAM pool using AWS Resource Access Manager (RAM).
- Transfer BYOIP to IPAM.
Now, other accounts in the AWS Organization can use the IP addresses from the BYOIP pool.
