Modifying the local network gateway settings

Network configurations may change over time, and we may need to address these changes in Azure as well—for example, the public IP address of a local firewall may change, and we'd then need to reconfigure the local network gateway, or a local network might be reconfigured and the address space or subnet has changed, so we would need to reconfigure the local network gateway once again.

Getting ready

Before you start, open a web browser and go to the Azure portal at https://portal.azure.com.

How to do it…

In order to modify local network gateway settings, we must do the following:

  1. Locate the local network gateway in the Azure portal and go to Configuration.
  2. In Configuration, we can edit IP address or Address space. We can also add additional address spaces if we want to connect multiple local subnets to Azure VNet:
    Adding an IP address and address space in the Configuration window
