Creating the Virtual Machine Using the Azure Portal - NetCloud-Virtual-Edge-Deployment-Guide-Azure/Creating-the-Virtual-Machine-Using-the-Azure-Portal

The NetCloud Virtual Edge virtual machine (VM) must be manually created in the Azure Portal.

Note

Due to limitations in the Azure Portal, the VM must be created with a dummy network interface controller (NIC), and then that NIC is replaced with the previously created NICs.

Complete the following steps to create the NetCloud Virtual Edge VM:

Open the Azure portal.
Navigate to the Virtual machines page.
Select Create and then Azure virtual machine.
Select See all images within the Image field on the Basics tab of the Create a virtual machine page.
Select Direct Shared Images in the left-side navigation panel.
Select the Scope option that matches the ID type (Subscription or Tenant) that was provided to Ericsson Enterprise Wireless.
Expand the NCXVEProdACG gallery and then select NcxveImages. The NetCloud Virtual Edge image is selected on the Basics tab of the Create a virtual machine page.
Fill in the remaining fields on the Basics tab as specified:
- Subscription – Use the same subscription in which the resource group was created.
- Region – Select the same region as the resource group and the resources within it.
- Availability options – No Zone Redundancy Required.
- Security type – This should be automatically set to Standard.
- Image – The NetCloud Virtual Edge image selected in the previous step.
- Size – Standard_D2s_v5.
- Public inbound ports – None.
- License type – Other.
Select Next: Disks and then Next: Networking.
Ensure the fields on the Networking page have the following values:
- Virtual network – The virtual network created previously
- Subnet – The LAN subnet
- Public IP – None
- Load balancing – None
Select Review + create and then Create after validation.
Optional: Select Download private key and create resource in the Generate new key pair dialog for Secure Shell (SSH) access. You may delete the downloaded file.
Select Go to resource once the deployment is complete.
Stop the virtual machine and replace its WAN NIC with the previously created NIC:
1. Select Stop on the virtual machine’s summary page and then Yes to confirm.
  Wait for the virtual machine to completely stop.
2. Select Networking under Settings in the left-side navigation panel.
3. Select Attach network interface.
4. In the drop-down menu, choose the WAN network interface created in the deployment phase and select OK.
Delete the dummy NIC created with the VM:
1. Select Detach network interface.
2. Select the dummy NIC and click OK.
3. Select Delete and then Yes to confirm.
Replace the LAN NIC with the previously created NIC:
1. Select Attach network interface.
2. In the drop-down menu, choose the LAN network interface created in the deployment phase and select OK.
Select Overview in the left-side navigation panel.
Select Start to restart the VM.
