Azure SDN connector for non-VM resources

IP address resolving functionality is available for the following Azure resources:

• VM network interfaces (including VMSS)
• Internet-facing load balancers
• Internal load balancers
• Application gateways

VPN gateways are currently not supported.

The following example demonstrates configuring an internet-facing load balancer.

To configure an internet-facing load balancer address in the GUI:

1. Configure the Azure SDN connector:
   1. Go to Security Fabric > Fabric Connectors.
   2. Click Create New, and select Microsoft Azure.
   3. Enter the settings based on your deployment, and click OK. The update interval is in seconds.

   

2. Create the dynamic firewall address:
   1. Go to Policy & Objects > Addresses.
   2. Click Create New > Address and enter a name.
   3. Configure the following settings:
      1. For Type, select Dynamic.
      2. For Sub Type, select Fabric Connector Address.
      3. For SDN Connector, select azure-dev.
      4. For SDN address type, select All.
      5. For Filter, enter Tag.devlb=lbkeyvalue.
   4. Click OK.

      

      The corresponding IP addresses are dynamically updated and resolved after applying the tag filter.

3. Ensure that the connector resolves the dynamic firewall IP address:
   1. Go to Policy & Objects > Addresses.
   2. In the address table, hover over the address created in step 2 to view what IP it resolves to:

      

   3. In Azure, verify to confirm the IP address matches:

      

To configure an internet-facing load balancer in the CLI:

1. Configure the Azure SDN connector:

   config system sdn-connector
       edit "azure-dev"
           set status enable
           set type azure
           set azure-region global
           set tenant-id "942b80cd-1b14-42a1-8dcf-4b21dece61ba"
           set client-id "44e79db7-621d-46f3-8625-58e209654e58"
           set client-secret xxxxxxxxxx
           set update-interval 60
       next
   end

2. Create the dynamic firewall address:

   config firewall address
       edit "taginternetfacinglb"
           set type dynamic
           set sdn "azure-dev"
           set filter "Tag.devlb=lbkeyvalue"
           set sdn-addr-type all	
       next
   end

   The corresponding IP addresses are dynamically updated and resolved after applying the tag filter.

3. Confirm that the connector resolves the dynamic firewall IP address:

   config firewall address
       edit "taginternetfacinglb"
           show
               config firewall address
                   edit "taginternetfacinglb"
                       set uuid df391760-3bb6-51ea-f775-421df18f368d
                       set type dynamic
                       set sdn "azure-dev"
                       set filter "Tag.devlb=lbkeyvalue"
                       set sdn-addr-type all
                       config list
                           edit "52.230.230.83"
                           next
                       end
                   next
               end
   	next
   end
