Network Virtual Appliances (NVAs) in Azure Virtual WAN are deployed as Virtual Machine Scale Sets with Virtual Machine instances that have two or three network interfaces. Each interface on a Virtual Machine instance is automatically allocated one IP address. You can increase the number of IP configurations (which translates to number of IP addresses) assigned to each NVA network interface.

Network Virtual Appliances (NVAs) in Azure Virtual WAN are deployed as Virtual Machine Scale Sets with Virtual Machine instances that have two or three network interfaces. Each interface on a Virtual Machine instance is automatically allocated one IP configuration that translates to a single IP address.

IP configurations are logical representations of the IP addresses associated to each Network Interface Card (NIC) in a Virtual WAN NVA. Each NIC of a Virtual WAN NVA by default has 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 and associated IP address is known as the **primary** IP configuration.

You can allocate additional IP addresses to your NVA NICs by creating additional IP configurations and associating it to your NVAs NICs. These additional IP configurations are called **secondary** IP configurations.

* Reference your NVA provider's documentation for the full list of supported use cases and for instructions on hwo to properly configure NVA operating systems to use additional allocated IP addresses. Azure allocates and assigns additional IP addresses to your NVA Virtual Machine instances and does not modify any NVA opearating system internal configurations.

* Associating an additional IP configuration to your NVA allocates additional IP addresses to all NVA instances.

* The primary IP configuration associated to each NIC can't be modified or deleted.

* For the full list of use cases supported with assigning multiple IP configurations to NVA NICs, reference provider documentation. Depending on the implementation of your NVA operating system, you may not be able to apply multiple IP configurations for certain use cases.
75
75
* Azure automatically allocates IP addresses to each Network Virtual Appliance instance. 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. Public IP addresses are allocated from the set of available Azure-owned public IPs in the NVAs deployed Azure region.

* IP addresses aren't preserved. Once an IP configuration from a NIC, re-creating the IP configuration doesn't guarantee the same public and/or private IP addresses are allocated to the NVA.
