    Use an Azure suggested unused class B network (xxx.xxx.0.0/16) or enter your preferred unused class B network.

    Subscription

    Select your subscription type.

    Resource group

    Select the resource group you created in the Creating a resource group step.

    Location

    Select the location you used when you set up the resource group.

    Subnet Name

    Name of FSA port1 (the management subnet).

    Subnet Address range

    Enter a class C network (xxx.xxx.x.0/24) within the virtual network.

    DDoS protection

    Basic.

    Service endpoints

    Disabled.

  4. Click Create.
  5. Create one additional subnet in the virtual network:
    • Enter the subnet name for FSA port2 (the custom VM subnet), and assign another class C network (xxx.xxx.xxx.0/24) in that network.
