 > If you have BGP sessions running, be aware that the Azure VPN Gateway BGP configuration will change and two newly assigned BGP IPs will be provisioned within the Gateway Subnet address range. The old Azure VPN Gateway BGP IP address will no longer exist. This will incur downtime and updating the BGP peers on the on-premises devices will be required. Once the gateway is finished provisioning, the new BGP IPs can be obtained and the on-premises device configuration will need to be updated accordingly. This applies to non APIPA BGP IPs. To understand how to configure BGP in Azure, see [How to configure BGP on Azure VPN Gateways](bgp-howto.md).
