Static IP address in Azure API management Service

I have done some googling but couldn't get a confirmed answer for this: Does Azure API management service provides a Static IP address? If not, how do i configure it?

Reason i am asking is because my on-premise server only accepts request from whitelisted IP address and therefore we need a static ip address from request coming from Azure API management.
