Hi @ James Woo , if you want a Public IP v4 and a Public IP v6 associated with a VM related NIC you need to create one NIC, one Public IP V4 and one Public IP v6. Both public IPs will be associated with the same NIC. What is IPv6 for Azure Virtual Network? Deploy an IPv6 dual stack application in Azure virtual network using PowerShell In general configuring an Azure Public IP is different from configuring the Azure VNET IP Subnets. The Azure Public IP is a different object in Azure and will be associated with an existing Azure VM NIC. (If the reply was helpful please don't forget to upvote and/or accept as answer , thank you) Regards Andreas Baumgarten

Why can't I select "both" option for IP version when I created public ip address?

@James Woo

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform. Thank you for reaching out & I hope you are doing well.

I understand that you would like to deploy a Dual Stack VM/Vnet.

Currently, we can either select a the IP version as IPv4 or IPv6, and not both.

I have created a document update request here, and the changes should be reflecting soon.

I see Andreas Baumgarten has addresses your query and shared the details for dual stack VM/Vnet.

Kindly let us know if this helps or you need further assistance on this issue.

Thanks,

Kapil
