Associate a public IP address to a virtual machine

  • 7 contributors

In this article, you learn how to associate a public IP address to an existing virtual machine (VM). To do so, you associate the public IP address to an IP configuration of a network interface attached to a VM. You can use the Azure portal, the Azure CLI, or Azure PowerShell by selecting the tab for the method you want to use.

If you want to instead create a new VM with a public IP address, you can use the Azure portal , the Azure CLI , or Azure PowerShell .

Public IP addresses have a nominal fee. For details, see pricing . There's a limit to the number of public IP addresses that you can use per subscription. For details, see limits .

Azure provides a default outbound access IP for VMs that either aren't assigned a public IP address or are in the back-end pool of an internal basic Azure load balancer. The default outbound access IP mechanism provides an outbound IP address that isn't configurable.

The default outbound access IP is disabled when one of the following events happens:

  • A public IP address is assigned to the VM.
  • The VM is placed in the back-end pool of a standard load balancer, with or without outbound rules.
  • An Azure Virtual Network NAT gateway resource is assigned to the subnet of the VM.

VMs that you create by using virtual machine scale sets in flexible orchestration mode don't have default outbound access.

For more information about outbound connections in Azure, see Default outbound access in Azure and Use Source Network Address Translation (SNAT) for outbound connections .

Prerequisites

  • An Azure account with an active subscription. You can create an account for free .
  • Azure portal
  • Azure PowerShell

Sign in to the Azure portal .

In the portal, search for and select the VM that you want to add the public IP address to.

Under Settings in the left pane, select Networking , and then select the network interface you want to add the public IP address to.

Screenshot showing how to select the network interface of a VM.

Public IP addresses are associated to the network interfaces that are attached to a VM. In this screenshot, the VM has only one network interface. If the VM had multiple network interfaces, they would all appear, and you'd select the network interface you want to associate the public IP address to.

From the Network interface window, under Settings , select IP configurations *, and then select an IP configuration from the list.

Public IP addresses are associated to the IP configurations for a network interface. In this screenshot, the network interface has only one IP configuration. If the network interface had multiple IP configurations, they would all appear in the list, and you'd select the IP configuration that you want to associate the public IP address to.

In the Edit IP configuration window, select Associate public IP address , then select Public IP address to choose an existing public IP address from the drop-down list. If no public IP addresses are listed, you need to create one. To learn how, see Create a public IP address .

Screenshot showing how to select, create, and associate a new public IP address.

The public IP addresses that appear in the drop-down list are those that exist in the same region as the VM. If you have multiple public IP addresses created in the region, all will appear here. Any address that's already associated to a different resource is grayed out.

Select Save .

In the IP Configurations window, view the public IP address assigned to the IP configuration. It might take a few seconds for a newly associated IP address to appear.

An IP address is assigned from the pool of public IP addresses reserved for an Azure region. For a list of the address pools used in each region, see Azure IP ranges and service tags . If you need the address to be assigned from a specific prefix, use a Public IP address prefix .

Open the necessary ports in your security groups by adjusting the security rules in the network security groups. For information, see Allow network traffic to the VM .

Install the Azure CLI on your machine, or use Azure Cloud Shell. Cloud Shell is a free Bash shell that you can run directly within the Azure portal. It includes the Azure CLI preinstalled and configured to use with your Azure account. Select the Open Cloudshell button in the Azure CLI code examples that follow. When you select Open Cloudshell , Cloud Shell loads in your browser and prompts you to sign into your Azure account.

If you're using the Azure CLI locally in Bash, sign in to Azure with az login .

Use the az network nic ip-config update command to associate a public IP address to an IP configuration. The following example associates an existing public IP address named myPublicIP to an IP configuration named ipconfig1 . This IP configuration belongs to an existing network interface named myVMNic in a resource group named myResourceGroup .

If you don't have an existing public IP address, use the az network public-ip create command to create one. For example, the following command creates a public IP address named myPublicIP in a resource group named myResourceGroup .

This command creates a public IP address with default values for several settings that you may want to customize. For more information about public IP address settings, see Create a public IP address . An IP address is assigned from the pool of public IP addresses reserved for an Azure region. For a list of the address pools used in each region, see Azure IP ranges and service tags . If you need the address to be assigned from a specific prefix, use a Public IP address prefix .

If you don't know the names of the network interfaces attached to your VM, use the az vm nic list command to view them. For example, the following command lists the network interfaces attached to a VM named myVM in a resource group named myResourceGroup :

The output includes one or more lines that are similar to the following example, where myVMNic is the name of the network interface:

If you don't know the names of the IP configurations for a network interface, use the az network nic ip-config list command to retrieve them. For example, the following command lists the names of the IP configurations for a network interface named myVMNic in a resource group named myResourceGroup :

View the public IP address assigned to the IP configuration with the az vm list-ip-addresses command. The following example shows the IP addresses assigned to an existing VM named myVM in a resource group named myResourceGroup .

Install Azure PowerShell on your machine, or use Cloud Shell. Cloud Shell is a free Bash shell that you can run directly within the Azure portal. It includes Azure PowerShell preinstalled and configured to use with your Azure account. Select the Open Cloudshell button in the Azure PowerShell code examples that follow. When you select Open Cloudshell , Cloud Shell loads in your browser and prompts you to sign into your Azure account.

If you're using Azure PowerShell locally, sign in to Azure with Connect-AzAccount .

Use the Get-AzVirtualNetwork command to retrieve the virtual networks in a resource group. Then, use the Get-AzVirtualNetworkSubnetConfig command to retrieve the subnet configurations in a virtual network.

Use the Get-AzNetworkInterface command to retrieve the network interfaces in a resource group. Then, use the Get-AzPublicIpAddress command to retrieve the existing public IP addresses in a resource group.

Use the Set-AzNetworkInterfaceIpConfig command to associate the public IP address to the IP configuration. Then, use the Set-AzNetworkInterface command to write the new IP configuration to the network interface.

The following example associates an existing public IP address named myPublicIP to an IP configuration named ipconfig1 . This IP configuration belongs to an existing network interface named myVMNic that exists in a subnet named mySubnet in a virtual network named myVNet . All resources are in a resource group named myResourceGroup .

If you don't have an existing public IP address, use the New-AzPublicIpAddress command to create one. For example, the following command creates a dynamic public IP address named myPublicIP in a resource group named myResourceGroup in the eastus region.

If you want to know the names and properties of the network interfaces attached to your VM, use the Get-AzVM command to view them. For example, the following command lists the network interfaces attached to a VM named myVM in a resource group named myResourceGroup :

The output includes one or more lines that are similar to the example that follows. In the example output, myVMNic is the name of the network interface.

To retrieve the names of the virtual networks or subnets that a network interface is in, use the Get-AzNetworkInterface command. For example, the following command gets the virtual network and subnet information for a network interface named myVMNic in a resource group named myResourceGroup :

The output includes one or more lines that are similar to the example that follows. In the example output, myVNet is the name of the virtual network and mySubnet is the name of the subnet.

To retrieve the names of the IP configurations for a network interface, use the Get-AzNetworkInterface command. For example, the following command lists the names of the IP configurations for a network interface named myVMNic in a resource group named myResourceGroup :

The output includes one or more lines that are similar to the example that follows. In the example output, ipconfig1 is the name of an IP configuration.

View the public IP address assigned to the IP configuration with the Get-AzPublicIpAddress command. The following example retrieves the addresses assigned to a public IP address named myPublicIP in a resource group named myResourceGroup .

For a list of the public IP addresses assigned to an IP configuration, run the following commands:

The output includes one or more lines that are similar to the example that follows. In the example output, myPublicIP is the name of the public IP address assigned to the IP configuration.

Allow network traffic to the VM

Before you can connect to a public IP address from the internet, you must open the necessary ports in your security groups. These ports must be open in any network security group that you might have associated to the network interface, the subnet of the network interface, or both. Although security groups filter traffic to the private IP address of the network interface, after inbound internet traffic arrives at the public IP address, Azure translates the public address to the private IP address. Therefore, if a network security group prevents the traffic flow, the communication with the public IP address fails.

You can view the effective security rules for a network interface and its subnet for the Azure portal , the Azure CLI , or Azure PowerShell .

In this article, you learned how to associate a public IP address to a VM using the Azure portal, Azure CLI, or Azure PowerShell.

How to assign Static Public IP Address in Azure VM

Microsoft Azure by default set public IP assignment as Dynamic when you create a new VM until other than you specifically set it as Static . The dynamic IP address changes on every time when we restart the Azure VM. In this case, we need to download the new RDP file to connect to the virtual machine.

Assign Static Public IP address to existing VM

Assign static public ip address during the vm creation.

Follow the below steps to set-up IP assignment as Static in an existing VM.

  • Go to Azure AD portal .
  • Click Virtual Machines , select the required virtual machine from the list.
  • On the left-hand side, under  Settings, click  Networking .
  • Click on the link next to the Network interface. Refer to the below image.

Change Public IP to Static in Azure VM

  • Under  Settings, click  IP Configurations , click on the IP configuration (ex: ipconfig1) to edit as shown in the below image.

Assign Public IP as Static in Azure VM

  • Under  Public IP address settings, select (or keep) Associate .
  • Under Public IP address, click Create new , set Assignment as Static , and click OK.
  • Finally, click the Save button to save the changes.

Assign Static Public IP address in Azure VM

You have now successfully assigned a static public IP address for your virtual machine which ensures that the address never changes.

Static IP can also be assigned to an Azure VM during creation. When you create a VM, once the initial validation process completed, follow the below steps.

  • Click on Networking tab.
  • Under Network interface, next to Public IP, click Create new , set Assignment as Static , and click OK.

Assign Static Public IP address for new Azure VM

  • Finally, click Review + Create to create the machine with static IP.

How to assign public IP to VM in VM-scaleset in Azure

I have created a Virtual machine scale set with 2 running instances. How to assign a public IP to both the instances to manage independently?

  • azure-networking

Patrick Mevzek's user avatar

If you want a public IP per VM, you can do it following the tutorial below:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machine-scale-sets/virtual-machine-scale-sets-networking#public-ipv4-per-virtual-machine

But probably it is a better idea to assign a Public IP to the load balancer and then create Inbound NAT rules for each of the VMs.

See "Access Via Public Load Balancer" below:
