## Configuration and supported scenarios

A Standard Public Load balancer or a Standard IP configuration of a virtual machine can be chained to a Gateway Load Balancer. "Chaining" refers to the load balancer frontend or NIC IP configuration containing a reference to a Gateway Load Balancer frontend IP configuration. Once the Gateway Load Balancer is chained to a consumer resource, no additional configuration such as UDRs is needed to ensure traffic to and from the application endpoint is sent to the Gateway Load Balancer.

Gateway Load Balancer supports both inbound and outbound traffic inspection. For inserting NVAs in the path of outbound traffic with Standard Load Balancer, Gateway Load Balancer must be chained to the frontend IP configurations selected in the configured outbound rules.

> Configuring a Gateway Load Balancer's frontend IP as the next hop in user-defined routes (UDRs) is not supported. Gateway Load Balancer resources must be chained/referenced by a supported consumer resource such as a Standard Public Load Balancer or Standard NIC IP configuration.

With Gateway Load Balancer, traffic intended for the consumer application through a Standard Load Balancer will be encapsulated with VXLAN headers and forwarded first to the Gateway Load Balancer and its configured NVAs in the backend pool. The traffic then returns to the consumer resource (in this case a Standard Load Balancer) and arrives at the consumer application virtual machines with its source IP preserved. The consumer virtual network and provider virtual network can be in different subscriptions or tenants, reducing management overhead.
