-4. Specify in the values for **Public IP address**. These settings specify the public IP address object that gets associated to the VPN gateway. The public IP address is dynamically assigned to this object when the VPN gateway is created. For gateways that aren't [zone-redundant](../articles/vpn-gateway/about-zone-redundant-vnet-gateways.md), the only time the Public IP address changes is when the gateway is deleted and re-created. It doesn't change across resizing, resetting, or other internal maintenance/upgrades of your VPN gateway.
