Provides instructions for creating a virtual network, configuring subnets, establishing a network security group, and associating these resources within the Azure portal to support control component deployment.
This procedure describes how to create a virtual network, subnets, and network security group in Azure.
Note
For definitive information about tasks in Azure, see the Azure documentation.
Before you begin
Follow these steps to create a Virtual Network, Subnets, and Network Security Group in the Azure portal:
Procedure
|
1. |
Begin the workflow for creating a virtual network. When creating a virtual network, ensure that you complete these activities:
-
Choose a valid subscription.
-
Choose an existing resource group or create a new one.
Note
A resource group is a logical construct in Azure that includes all of the resources that you have deployed across regions. We recommend defining one resource group for each Cisco SD-WAN Catalyst overlay.
-
Enter a name and region for the virtual network.
-
Enter an address space for the virtual network. Example: 10.0.0.0/16
-
Add a minimum of two subnets to the virtual network, and an additional subnet if you are using a SD-WAN Manager cluster. For each subnet, provide a name and an address space for the subnet. A later step associates these subnets with VM network interfaces. Example:
- 10.0.1.0/24
- 10.0.2.0/24
- 10.0.3.0/24
-
Optionally, you can enter a tag to categorize the virtual network.

2. |
Begin the workflow for creating a network security group (NSG).When creating a network security group, ensure that you complete these activities:
-
Choose a valid subscription.
-
Choose the resource group created in the previous step, as part of the workflow for creating a virtual network.
-
Enter a name and region for the NSG.
-
Optionally, you can enter a tag to categorize the NSG.
|
|
3. |
Associate the newly created NSG with the subnets created in an earlier step. |
What to do next
Create a Virtual Machine for the control components.
