Manage a public IP address with a VPN gateway

  • Artikkeli

Public IP addresses are available in two SKUs; standard, and basic. The selection of SKU determines the features of the IP address. The SKU determines the resources that the IP address can be associated with.

A VPN gateway is a virtual network gateway used to send encrypted traffic between an Azure virtual network and an on-premises location over the public Internet. You can also use a VPN gateway to send encrypted traffic between Azure virtual networks over the Microsoft network. Each virtual network can have only one VPN gateway. A VPN gateway requires a public IP address for its configuration. A public IP address is used as the external connection point of the VPN.

VPN gateway supports standard and basic SKU public IP addresses depending on the SKU of the VPN gateway. Public IP prefixes aren't supported.

In this article, you learn how to create a VPN gateway using an existing public IP in your subscription.

Prerequisites

  • An Azure account with an active subscription. Create one for free.
  • One standard SKU public IP address in your subscription. The IP address can't be associated with any resources. For more information on creating a standard SKU public IP address, see Create a public IP address using the Azure portal.
    • For the purposes of the examples in this article, name the new public IP addresses myStandardPublicIP.
