Azure Firewall is a cloud-based network security service that protects your Azure Virtual Network resources. Azure Firewall requires at least one public static IP address to be configured. This IP or set of IPs are used as the external connection point to the firewall. Azure Firewall supports standard SKU public IP addresses. Basic SKU public IP address and public IP prefixes aren't supported.
16+
In this article, you learn how to manage public IP addresses for Azure Firewall by using the Azure portal. You learn how to create an Azure Firewall by using an existing public IP in your subscription, change the IP configuration, and finally, add an IP configuration to the firewall.

* An Azure Firewall can be integrated with a standard SKU load balancer to protect backend pool resources. If you associate the firewall with a public load balancer, configure ingress traffic to be directed to the firewall public IP address. Configure egress via a user-defined route to the firewall public IP address. For more information and setup instructions, see [Integrate Azure Firewall with Azure Standard Load Balancer](../../firewall/integrate-lb.md).
105+
## Advanced configuration
110106

111-
* An Azure Firewall can also be associated with a NAT gateway to extend the extensibility of Source Network Address Translation (SNAT). A NAT gateway avoids configurations to permit traffic from a large number of public IPs associated with the firewall. With this configuration, all inbound traffic will use the public IP address or addresses of the NAT gateway. Traffic egresses through the Azure Firewall public IP address or addresses. For more information, see [Scale SNAT ports with Azure NAT Gateway](../../firewall/integrate-with-nat-gateway.md).

This example is a simple deployment of Azure Firewall. For advanced configuration and setup, see [Tutorial: Deploy and configure Azure Firewall and policy by using the Azure portal](../../firewall/tutorial-firewall-deploy-portal-policy.md). You can associate an Azure firewall with a network address translation (NAT) gateway to extend the extensibility of source network address translation (SNAT). A NAT gateway can be used to provide outbound connectivity associated with the firewall. With this configuration, all inbound traffic uses the public IP address or addresses of the NAT gateway. Traffic egresses through the Azure firewall public IP address or addresses. For more information, see [Scale SNAT ports with Azure Virtual Network NAT](../../firewall/integrate-with-nat-gateway.md).
