## Probe source IP address

For Load Balancer's health probe to mark up your instance, you **must** allow 168.63.129.16 IP address in any Azure [network security groups](../virtual-network/network-security-groups-overview.md) and local firewall policies. The **AzureLoadBalancer** service tag identifies this source IP address in your [network security groups](../virtual-network/network-security-groups-overview.md) and permits health probe traffic by default. You can learn more about this IP [here](../virtual-network/what-is-ip-address-168-63-129-16.md).

If you don't allow the [source IP](#probe-source-ip-address) of the probe in your firewall policies, the health probe fails as it is unable to reach your instance. In turn, Azure Load Balancer marks your instance as *down* due to the health probe failure. This misconfiguration can cause your load balanced application scenario to fail. All IPv4 Load Balancer health probes originate from the IP address 168.63.129.16 as their source. IPv6 probes use a link-local address as their source.

For a dual-stack Azure Load Balancer, you must [configure a Network Security Group](./virtual-network-ipv4-ipv6-dual-stack-standard-load-balancer-cli.md#create-a-network-security-group-rule-for-inbound-and-outbound-connections) for the IPv6 health probe to function.
