+Each VPN gateway must have an allocated public IP address. At this time, new Basic SKU VPN gateways use the **Static** allocation method for public IP address and the **Standard** public IP address SKU. These requirements may be different from previously created Basic SKU VPN gateways. Use the following example to create a public IP address for your VPN gateway.
