-Standard Public Azure Load Balancer front-end IPv4 and IPv6 addresses support testing reachability using ping and traceroute. Testing reachability of a load balancer front-end is useful for troubleshooting inbound connectivity issues to Azure resources. In this article, you learn how to use ping and traceroute for testing a front-end of an existing Standard public load balancer. It can be completed from an Azure Virtual Machine or from a device outside of Azure.

 ## Prerequisites
 
 - An Azure account with an active subscription. [Create an account for free](https://azure.microsoft.com/free/?WT.mc_id=A261C142F) and access to the Azure portal.
 
-- A standard public load balancer with an IPv4 and IPv6 front-end in your subscription. For more information on creating an Azure Load Balancer, see [Quickstart: Create a public load balancer](/azure/load-balancer/quickstart-load-balancer-standard-public-portal) to load balance VMs using the Azure portal.

 - An Azure Virtual Machine with a public IP address assigned to its network interface. For more information on creating a virtual machine with a public IP, see [Quickstart: Create a Windows virtual machine in the Azure portal](/azure/virtual-machines/windows/quick-create-portal).
 
 > [!NOTE]
-> Testing inbound connectivity to Azure Load Balancer front-ends is only supported for public load balancers. Testing inbound connectivity to internal load balancer front-ends is not supported.
