IP configurations are logical representations of the IP addresses associated to each NIC (Network Interface Card) in a Virtual WAN NVA. Each NIC of a Virtual WAN NVA by default has exactly one IP configuration. Therefore, exactly one IP (private or public/private pair) is assigned to each Virtual Machine (VM) instance's NICs. The default-assigned IP configuration is also known as the **primary** IP configuration.

6665
* IP configurations on the private/internal NIC must have *privatenicipconfig* prefix. For example, *privatenicipconfig-1* is a valid name while *myprivateipconfig* isn't a valid name for private/internal NIC IP configurations.
6766
* IP configurations on the public/external NIC must have *publicnicipconfig* prefix. For example, *publicnicipconfig-1* is a valid name while *mypublicipconfig* isn't a valid name for public/external NIC IP configurations.

* Azure automatically allocates IP addresses to each Network Virtual Appliance. You can't choose the IP addresses allocated to each NVA instance. Private IP addresses are allocated from the Virtual WAN hub address space that is reserved for Integrated NVAs in the hub.
