Description
**Bicep version**
`Microsoft.Network/loadBalancers/inboundNatRules@2022-05-01`
Bicep: Bicep CLI version 0.11.1 (030248df55)
**Describe the bug**
Using the Portal and selecting "Azure Virtual Machine " option to create NAT rule results in (resources.azure.com):
```json
{
"name": "ssh-tunnel-attempt2",
"id": "/subscriptions/###/resourceGroups/ds-edp-test/providers/Microsoft.Network/loadBalancers/###/inboundNatRules/ssh-tunnel-attempt2",
"etag": "W/\"570da290-0502-4c95-b006-160d66b305e9\"",
"type": "Microsoft.Network/loadBalancers/inboundNatRules",
"properties": {
"provisioningState": "Succeeded",
"frontendIPConfiguration": {
"id": "/subscriptions/###/resourceGroups/###/providers/Microsoft.Network/loadBalancers/###/frontendIPConfigurations/lb-pip-conf"
},
"frontendPort": 35555,
"backendPort": 22,
"enableFloatingIP": false,
"idleTimeoutInMinutes": 4,
"protocol": "Tcp",
"enableDestinationServiceEndpoint": false,
"enableTcpReset": false,
"allowBackendPortConflict": false,
"backendIPConfiguration": {
"id": "/subscriptions/###/resourceGroups/###/providers/Microsoft.Network/networkInterfaces/ssh-tunnel-nic/ipConfigurations/ipconfig1"
}
}
}
```
Creating this in bicep seems to be impossible:
```
WARNING: C:\temp\buildStatusMaker\ssh-tunnel.bicep(217,5) : Warning BCP037: The property "backendIpConfiguration" is not allowed on objects of type "InboundNatRulePropertiesFormat". Permissible properties include "backendAddressPool", "enableFloatingIP", "enableTcpReset", "frontendPortRangeEnd", "frontendPortRangeStart", "idleTimeoutInMinutes". If this is an inaccuracy in the documentation, please report it to the Bicep Team. [https://aka.ms/bicep-type-issues]
```
When the resource is deployed it is identical to the one created by the Portal, **except** the `backendIPConfiguration` property is missing.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the warning with Microsoft.Network/loadBalancers/inboundNatRules@2022-05-01 and inspect the type definition for InboundNatRulePropertiesFormat. The work is done when backendIPConfiguration is accepted and a deployment preserves the property shown in the Portal-generated resource.
