A VPN gateway is a type of virtual network gateway that sends encrypted traffic between your virtual network and your on-premises location across a public connection. You can also use a VPN gateway to send traffic between virtual networks across the Azure backbone.

If you have a VPN gateway and you want to use a different gateway SKU, your options are to either resize your gateway SKU, or to change to another SKU. When you change to another gateway SKU, you delete the existing gateway entirely and build a new one. Creating a gateway can often take 45 minutes or more, depending on the selected gateway SKU. In comparison, when you resize a gateway SKU, there isn't much downtime because you don't have to delete and rebuild the gateway. While it's faster to resize your gateway SKU, there are rules regarding resizing:

1. Except for the Basic SKU, you can resize a VPN gateway SKU to another VPN gateway SKU within the same generation (Generation1 or Generation2) and SKU family (VpnGwx or VpnGwxAZ).

* Example: VpnGw1 of Generation1 can be resized to VpnGw2 of Generation1, but can't be resized to VpnGw2 of Generation2. The gateway must instead be changed (deleted and rebuilt).
80-
* Example: VpnGw2 of Generation2 can't be resized to VpnGw2AZ of either Generation1 or Generation2 because the "AZ" gateways are [zone redundant](about-zone-redundant-vnet-gateways.md). To change to an AZ SKU, delete the gateway and rebuild it using the desired AZ SKU.

Before you create a VPN gateway, you must create a gateway subnet. The gateway subnet contains the IP addresses that the virtual network gateway VMs and services use. When you create your virtual network gateway, gateway VMs are deployed to the gateway subnet and configured with the required VPN gateway settings. Never deploy anything else (for example, additional VMs) to the gateway subnet. The gateway subnet must be named 'GatewaySubnet' to work properly. Naming the gateway subnet 'GatewaySubnet' lets Azure know that this is the subnet to which it should deploy the virtual network gateway VMs and services.

When you create the gateway subnet, you specify the number of IP addresses that the subnet contains. The IP addresses in the gateway subnet are allocated to the gateway VMs and gateway services. Some configurations require more IP addresses than others.
149145

150146
When you're planning your gateway subnet size, refer to the documentation for the configuration that you're planning to create. For example, the ExpressRoute/VPN Gateway coexist configuration requires a larger gateway subnet than most other configurations. While it's possible to create a gateway subnet as small as /29 (applicable to the Basic SKU only), all other SKUs require a gateway subnet of size /27 or larger (/27, /26, /25 etc.). You may want to create a gateway subnet larger than /27 so that the subnet has enough IP addresses to accommodate possible future configurations.

* When working with gateway subnets, avoid associating a network security group (NSG) to the gateway subnet. Associating a network security group to this subnet may cause your virtual network gateway (VPN and Express Route gateways) to stop functioning as expected.

* You can resize a gateway SKU as long as it is in the same generation, except for the Basic SKU. The Basic SKU is a legacy SKU and has feature limitations. To change from the Basic SKU to another SKU, you first delete the Basic SKU VPN gateway, then create a new gateway with the desired generation and SKU size combination.

* The Basic SKU doesn't support IPv6 and can only be configured using PowerShell or Azure CLI. Additionally, the Basic SKU doesn't support RADIUS authentication.

* These connection limits are separate. For example, you can have 128 SSTP connections and also 250 IKEv2 connections on a VpnGw1 SKU.

* If you have numerous P2S connections, it can negatively impact your S2S connections. The Aggregate Throughput Benchmarks were tested by maximizing a combination of S2S and P2S connections. A single P2S or S2S connection can have a much lower throughput.
