I am trying to create a internal standard load balancer in Azure with HA ports using ARM template . I am getting below validation error.
{
"code": "InvalidTemplateDeployment",
"details": [
{
"code": "PortValueIsOutOfRange",
"message": "Resource DC10TESTCPW01 has invalid value of Port (0). The value must be between 1 and 65535.",

Update with HA:
Configure more than one front-end private IP address for a single
internal Standard Load Balancer resource.
Configure multipleload-balancing rules, where each rule has a single unique front-end IP address selected.
Select the HA ports option, and then set Floating IP to Enabled for all the load-balancing rules.
