Using the NFS protocol for a file share requires network-level security configurations. There are two options for establishing networking-level security configurations: [Private endpoint](../../private-link/private-endpoint-overview.md) and [service endpoint](../../virtual-network/virtual-network-service-endpoints-overview.md).

Using the NFS protocol for a file share requires network-level security configurations. Currently there are two options for establishing networking-level security configurations: Private endpoint and service endpoint. Private endpoint gives your file share a private, static IP address within your virtual network, preventing connectivity interruptions from dynamic IP address changes. Traffic to your file share stays within peered virtual networks, including those in other regions and on premises. See [What is a private endpoint](../../private-link/private-endpoint-overview.md) to learn more.

A private endpoint gives your file share a private, static IP address within your virtual network, preventing connectivity interruptions from dynamic IP address changes. Traffic to your file share stays within peered virtual networks, including those in other regions and on premises. You can set up a private endpoint after you create the file share. For region support on private endpoints for Microsoft.Fileshares, see [Plan to deploy Azure Files](./storage-files-planning.md#file-shares-microsoftfileshares).
98+
If you don't require a static IP address, you can enable a service endpoint for Azure Files within the virtual network. A service endpoint configures file share to allow access only from specific subnets. The allowed subnets can belong to a virtual network in the same subscription or a different subscription, including those that belong to a different Microsoft Entra tenant. There's no extra charge for using service endpoints. See [Azure virtual network service endpoints](../../virtual-network/virtual-network-service-endpoints-overview.md) to learn more.

If you don't require a static IP address, you can enable a service endpoint for Azure Files within the virtual network. A service endpoint configures file share to allow access only from specific subnets. The allowed subnets can belong to a virtual network in the same subscription or a different subscription, including those that belong to a different Microsoft Entra tenant. There's no extra charge for using service endpoints. You can create or choose an existing virtual network for service endpoint purpose in the networking tab during the create flow.
100+
The **Networking** tab is optional, and allows you to set up both service and private endpoint. A virtual network is required if you intend to set up private endpoint while creating the file share. You may also set up networking configurations after the file share is created.

With public endpoints access enabled, you can create or choose an existing virtual network for the service endpoint connection to this file share. If you decide to disable public endpoint access, service endpoint will be disabled for this specific file share.

Tags are name/value pairs that enable you to categorize resources and view consolidated billing by applying the same tag to multiple resources and resource groups. These are optional, and you can apply them after you create the file share.

### Review + create
106+
For private endpoint configurations, each file share will have its own private endpoint. To get started, follow these steps.
107+
1. Select **+ Create private endpoint**. Leave **Subscription** and **Resource group** the same. Choose the same location as the virtual network and desired name for the private endpoint. Choose FileShare for storage sub-resource.
108+
1. Under networking section, choose the desired virtual network and subnet setting. Select **Yes** for **Integrate with private DNS zone**.
109+
1. Select **OK**.

1. Leave **Subscription** and **Resource group** the same. Under **Instance**, provide a name and select a region for the new private endpoint. Your private endpoint must be in the same region as your virtual network, so use the same region as you specified when creating the VM. When all the fields are complete, select **Next: Resource**.

Tags are name/value pairs that enable you to categorize resources and view consolidated billing by applying the same tag to multiple resources and resource groups. These are optional, and you can apply them after you create the file share.
