IP Config Allocation Update

[rohrerb]

Would it be possible to allow updating the IP Configuration allocation (static / dynamic) from https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/network/nic/ip-config?view=azure-cli-latest.

It seems you can do it from powershell but not from CLI except for when creating a VM in a single line.

In my scenario we don't' have a public ip address and a single ip config that we need to change from static to dynamic.

Hi @rohrerb I'd like to understand your scenario better. Are you creating NICs yourself or letting vm create create them for you? If you create them yourself, then the CLI's logic is as follows:

1. If you provide a private-ip-address, then it is static.
2. If you provide a public-ip-address then you had to create that public-ip with either static or dynamic configuration.

[rohrerb]

Understood. The portal allows you to select dynamic or static when using private ip address. If static is chosen we are forced to input a ip address and dynamic grabs next available.

It would be helpful to toggle the allocation for private ips as the portal allows this functionality.

Hi @rohrerb could you be more specific about which command you would like changed?

Actually, this is already supported. If you supply --private-ip-address "" (Windows) or --private-ip-address '' (nix) it will switch to Dynamic behavior. It simply isn't documented as such. I'll make a PR to update the documentation.
