------
#### [ CLI ]

**AWS CLI**  
**To change a subnet's public IPv4 addressing behavior**  
This example modifies subnet-1a2b3c4d to specify that all instances launched into this subnet are assigned a public IPv4 address. If the command succeeds, no output is returned.  
Command:  

```
aws ec2 modify-subnet-attribute --subnet-id subnet-1a2b3c4d --map-public-ip-on-launch
```
**To change a subnet's IPv6 addressing behavior**  
This example modifies subnet-1a2b3c4d to specify that all instances launched into this subnet are assigned an IPv6 address from the range of the subnet.  
Command:  

```
aws ec2 modify-subnet-attribute --subnet-id subnet-1a2b3c4d --assign-ipv6-address-on-creation
```
For more information, see IP Addressing in Your VPC in the *AWS Virtual Private Cloud User Guide*.

------
#### [ PowerShell ]

**Tools for PowerShell V4**  
**Example 1: This example enables public IP addressing for the specified subnet.**  

```
Edit-EC2SubnetAttribute -SubnetId subnet-1a2b3c4d -MapPublicIpOnLaunch $true
```
**Example 2: This example disables public IP addressing for the specified subnet.**  

```
Edit-EC2SubnetAttribute -SubnetId subnet-1a2b3c4d -MapPublicIpOnLaunch $false
```
+  For API details, see [ModifySubnetAttribute](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/powershell/v4/reference) in *AWS Tools for PowerShell Cmdlet Reference (V4)*. 

**Tools for PowerShell V5**  
**Example 1: This example enables public IP addressing for the specified subnet.**  

```
Edit-EC2SubnetAttribute -SubnetId subnet-1a2b3c4d -MapPublicIpOnLaunch $true
```
**Example 2: This example disables public IP addressing for the specified subnet.**  

```
Edit-EC2SubnetAttribute -SubnetId subnet-1a2b3c4d -MapPublicIpOnLaunch $false
```
