### 2. Configure Local Network Gateway for Magic IPsec tunnel health checks

Magic WAN uses [Tunnel Health Checks](/magic-wan/reference/tunnel-health-checks/) to ensure the tunnel is available.

Tunnel health checks make use of ICMP probes sent from the Cloudflare side of the Magic IPsec tunnel to the remote endpoint (Azure).

Tunnel health checks make use of ICMP probes sent from the Cloudflare side of the Magic IPsec tunnel to the remote endpoint (Azure). Probes are sent from the tunnel’s interface address, which you specify in two places:

There is an important distinction between how to configure Cloudflare and Azure to support the health checks:
103-
104-
- Magic IPsec Tunnel configuration settings requires specifying a discrete IP address (`/31` netmask recommended)
105-
- Azure Local Network Gateway settings require specifying the Cloudflare Magic WAN Interface Addresss in CIDR notation using a `/32` netmask
102+
1. **Cloudflare Dashboard:** In your Magic IPsec tunnel configuration as the address of the virtual tunnel interface (VTI) (so that Cloudflare knows what address to send probes from). _Cloudflare requires this address in CIDR notation with a `/31` netmask._
103+
2. **Azure Portal:** In your VPN site’s address space (so that Azure routes probe responses back over the tunnel). _Azure requires this address in CIDR notation with a `/32` netmask._

Cloudflare recommends customers select a unique `/31` subnet ([RFC 1918 - Address Allocation for Private Internets](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1918)) for each IPsec tunnel which is treated as a Point-to-Point Link and provides the ideal addressing scheme to satisfy both requirements.

```txt

10.252.3.55/32 - Define as the subnet (in CIDR notation) in Azure Local Network Gateway in the Azure Portal.
113-
10.252.3.55/31 - Define as the discrete IP Address assigned to the Interface Address (VTI - Virtual Tunnel Interface) of the Magic IPsec Tunnel in the Cloudflare Dashboard (see Configure Magic WAN below).
114-
```
108+
- Select 169.254.251.137/31 as your unique point-to-point link subnet.
109+
- In the Cloudflare dashboard, set 169.254.251.137/31 as your tunnel’s **IPv4 Interface address**. (See Configure Magic WAN below.)
110+
- In the Azure portal, add 169.254.251.137/32 to your Local Network Gateway's **Address space**.

It is important to ensure the subnet selected for the Interface Address does not overlap with any other subnet.
