Assigning the Azure IP address

1. In the third step, FortiGate IP address assignment, you will configure static public IP addresses for FortiGate nodes A and B. If you click First public IP address resource name, you will see a preconfigured name, with Dynamic selected. Leave these as shown, as there is no need to click Create New unless you want to change the name.

   

   To access the FortiGate-VMs' management GUI console or to connect by SSH, you need public addresses assigned to FortiGate nodes A and B. Static IP addresses are more convenient, as they are configured by default. Usually the default configuration is fine without modification.

2. After confirmation, click OK.
3. Repeat the process for node B, then click OK.
