I am setting up a bgp ipsec tunnel with a service provider. The public ip addresses on the Azure side are set to dynamic, and I am wondering if these addresses would ever change?
This is on the docs site regarding assignment of address:
Dynamic: Dynamic addresses are assigned only after the public IP address is associated to a NIC attached to a VM and the VM is started for the first time. Dynamic addresses can change if the VM the NIC is attached to is stopped (deallocated). The address remains the same if the VM is rebooted or stopped (but not deallocated). Static: Static addresses are assigned when the public IP address is created. Static addresses do not change even if the VM is put in the stopped (deallocated) state. The address is only released when the NIC is deleted. You can change the assignment method after the NIC is created.
But it seems to be specific to virtual machines.
When dynamic IP is associated to VPN gateway, the IP address will not change.
Please refer to this FAQ.
Can I request a Static Public IP address for my VPN gateway?
No. Only Dynamic IP address assignment is supported. However, this
does not mean that the IP address changes after it has been assigned
to your VPN gateway. The only time the VPN gateway IP address changes
is when the gateway is deleted and re-created. The VPN gateway public
IP address doesn't change across resizing, resetting, or other
internal maintenance/upgrades of your VPN gateway.
The VPN gateway must have a dynamically allocated public IP address. Even though its DYNAMIC, it remains largely unchanged. The reason for it to be Dynamic is, it gives Azure the capability to allocate the next available IPV4 Address that it has from the available block of IPs.
PowerShell to create a VPNGateway Public IP:
$gwypip01= New-AzPublicIpAddress -Name GwyIP01 -ResourceGroupName RG01 -Location 'Canada Central' -AllocationMethod Dynamic
To view the public IP :
Get-AzPublicIpAddress -Name GwyIP01 -ResourceGroupName RG01

When I shutdown a VM from Azure portal, it enters de-allocated state. I understand that if a public ip address is assigned to it, the only way to ensure that it maintains that ip is by creating a static ip address.
But what happens to a (dynamic) private ip address when the VM enters deallocated state ? Does it maintain the private ip address or do I lose it ?
According to the documentation: Once assigned, dynamic IP addresses are released if a network interface is:
Deleted
Reassigned to a different subnet within the same virtual network.
The allocation method is changed to static, and a different IP address is specified.
When you shut down a VM you are not actually doing any of these 3 things. So it should keep the IP address.
The standard way that DHCP works is that an IP address has a Time-To-Live (the default in Windows was 72 hours).
So if all the IP addresses in the subnet have been used and some have expired, since they have not been renewed, due to the VM's being shut down. Then new VM's may start to use some previously assigned IP addresses.
I have a Virtual Network Gateway setup on my Azure subscription, and a number of VMs which connect to it.
The VN Gateway created a Public IP automatically, and has it listed in the 'Overview' screen.
However going onto any website to check my IP (e.g. whatsmyip.org) gives me an entirely different Public IP. Anyone know why this is?
My configuration of the Virtual Network Gateway is very basic with mostly defaults and the VpnGw1 SKU.
The public IP assigned to the virtual network gateway is a public IP to let you connect Azure VPN gateway from your on-premises network or the Internet.
However, by default, there is a default route to make that Azure VM can continue to accept and respond to requests from the Internet directly. If VM has been assigned a public IP address to the NIC, the outbound traffic from VM will use this IP address. If the VM does not have a public IP address, Azure translates the private source IP address of the outbound flow to a public source IP address. This public IP address is not configurable, cannot be reserved, and does not count against the subscription's public IP resource limit. Read Outbound connections scenario overview.
So the outbound public IP of Azure VM is different than the virtual network gateway public IP.
I have created a Virtual Network Gateway in Azure with a particular Private IP Address. Now customer want me to change the Private IP Address to a particular IP. But i am not getting any option to do so. Could anybody help me on how to change the Public IP Address of a Virtual Network Gateway in Azure post creation.
Your question is not clear : do you want to change private IP address (as stated at the beginning), or the public one ?
Anyway, from what I remember :
You can't choose private IP address, it is taken from the subnet where you created it
To change public IP address, the connection must be stopped, then, from Azure Portal, access to the Public IP Address resource associated, and you'll be able to manage it as any other Public IP Address resource.
After creating a VM in Azure, there is a public IP assigned to it (the IP address can be check out under Azure portal > Virtual machine > Networking).
Is this public IP address assgined by Azure static or not?
Update:
When click the Stop button, there is a warning message "Public IP address will be lost ...".
The public IP address assigned by Azure is dynamic in default. The static type needs to be set manually.
Update
About the dynamic method for the public IP address, you can see rules when the public IP address would change like this:
Selecting dynamic allocation method for a basic public IP address
resource means the IP address is not allocated at the time of the
resource creation. The public IP address is allocated when you
associate the public IP address with a virtual machine or when you
place the first virtual machine instance into the backend pool of a
basic load balancer. The IP address is released when you stop (or
delete) the resource. After being released from resource A, for
example, the IP address can be assigned to a different resource. If
the IP address is assigned to a different resource while resource A is
stopped, when you restart resource A, a different IP address is
assigned.
It is based on the settings, When you are creating a new VM, you can find Under Settings, select Public IP address.
I have a Classic Azure VM whose current public ip is dynamic. I want this same ip to convert to Static. Is it possible?
If Yes, How?
I want this same ip to convert to Static. Is it possible?
Yes,you can reserve the IP address to achieve that.
Reserved IPs can be used only as a VIP, ensuring that the IP address for the cloud service remains the same, even as resources are shut down or stopped (deallocated).
To reserve the IP address of a cloud service TestService in the Central US location, run the following PowerShell (Classic) command:
New-AzureReservedIP –ReservedIPName MyReservedIP –Location "Central US" -ServiceName TestService
You can see more details about converting existing dynamic IPs used as a VIP to a reserved IP address in this official document.
