Changing the replication network for a Secondary
You may need to change the host name or IP address of the Primary or the Secondary used for replication if you move the Primary or Secondary to a new location or if you want to use a different network for replication.
You can change the host name or IP address even after replication is established. The Change Replication Network task enables you to change the replication network between the Primary and a Secondary in an RDS. Note that you can change the replication network for either the Primary or the Secondary or both. This operation can be performed on a bunker Secondary also.
