Create network interfaces

Create the following network interfaces:

  • The first network interface is for FortiSandbox port1.
  • The second network interface is for FortiSandbox port2.
  • If needed, you can create more network interfaces, such as for client devices to submit files, or inter-communications between HA Cluster nodes. To do that, more network security groups and virtual networks might be needed.

To create a network interface in Azure:
  1. In the Azure portal, click Network interfaces in the left pane.
  2. Click Add to create a new network interface.

  3. Enter the following information:

    Name

    VM name.

    Virtual network

    Select your Virtual Network.

    Subnet

    One subnet under your Virtual Network. Each interface you create must be on a different subnet.

    Private IP address assignment

    Static.

    Private IP address

    Self-defined static IP address.

    Network security group

    Select the security group you created.

    Private IP address (IPv6)

    Unchecked.

    Subscription

    Subscription type.

    Resource group

    The resource group you created in the Create a resource group step.

    Location

    Select the same location used while setting up the resource group.

  4. Repeat these steps to create the network interfaces you need.
    Note

    If you have created multiple network security groups:

    • The group associated with the FSA port1 interface must be one included in HTTPS (TCP 443), SSH traffic (TCP 22), OFTP traffic (TCP 514).
    • The group associated with the FSA port2 interface must be one including FTP(TCP 21).
    Associate the network interface used for the FSA management port (port1) with the Public IP address in the IP configuration section.
