The Public IP address that we will create is going to serve as the Elastic IP Address we will use for high availability.
· From the home page of the portal click Create a Resource.
· Select Networking in the left panel, or type Public IP Addresses in the search.
· You will see the following page (split into two halves for clarity).
· Choose the Resource Group. We have chosen the group that VM1 was created in.
· Choose the Region.
· Specify a name for this Elastic IP. Essential that this is be done properly so it is recognizable in the HACC application configuration.
· Choose IP V4 for the IP Version, and Standard for the SKU.
· Leave the Availability Zone as redundant.
· Leave the Tier as Regional.
· Choose Static as the IP address assignment.
· Choose the Routing Preference as Microsoft Network.
· Provide an appropriate DNS name for the Elastic IP address. We have chosen HACC for convenience, but this may be something more relevant to your deployment.
· Click Review & Create.
· You will see the result looking like the following image.
NOTE: You need to associate the Public IP with ADC1-NIC2 initiallty, after which the HACC app will handle this automatically.
