Syed, is ElasticLB support enabled in your network? If yes, then its ok to see 2 tabs.
When you go 1) Network->Add LB, the ip address for your lb rule will get allocated on the fly as a part of LB rule creation as a part of elastic Lb functionality. You can add more lb rules for the public ip address associated on the previous step; for that you have to go 2) path, select the IP and create a rule for it. If elastic LB is not enabled on the network, seeing 1) path in the UI is a UI bug. -Alena.
