Creating Endpoint Security (HX) network interfaces

Prev Next

The ether1 interface on the Endpoint Security (HX) virtual machine is the only interface that Azure creates by default. You must create the optional submission interface (ether2), and then attach the network interfaces to the virtual machine. IP forwarding must be enabled on monitoring interfaces to ensure that all network traffic reaches the Endpoint Security (HX) appliance.

To create a network interface:
  1. In the Azure portal, select All services, and then click Network interfaces under Networking.

  2. Click Add. The Create network interface page opens.

  3. Make sure the correct Subscription is selected.

  4. Select the correct Resource group.

  5. Enter a meaningful Name for the interface.

  6. Make sure the correct Region, Virtual network, and Subnet are selected.

    Important

    Each interface must be in a separate subnet.

  7. Recommended: Click Static and enter a static IP address to assign to the interface. Otherwise, select Dynamic.

  8. Select the correct Network security group.

  9. Select the Private IP address (IPv6) check box if the subnet uses IPv6 addresses.

  10. Click Next: Add tags and specify name and value pairs for the tags to apply to the network interface.

  11. Click Review + create.

  12. Click Create after the validation passes and you confirm the information on the page.
