# Advertise BYOIP

* Please [pre-register ROA/RPKI with your RIR](/welcome/elastic-compute/get-started/manage-networking/advertise-byoip/register-roa-rpki-with-rir.md) to enable BYOIP.
* Please [register the corresponding route object](/welcome/elastic-compute/get-started/manage-networking/advertise-byoip/register-a-route-object-in-the-irr.md) in IRR in advance.
* Access to this feature is restricted. Please contact us to request activation.
