Forwarding Traffic to Your NSv

This section describes how to configure a route on your SonicWall NSv Series virtual machine so that you can pass traffic though the NSv.

If you have not yet registered your NSv on MySonicWall, do that now. See Registering the NSv Virtual Machine with SonicOS/X for more information. Your NSv must be registered to enable full functionality.

To configure a route on your NSv virtual machine

1. If not already logged into the Azure portal, navigate to https://portal.azure.com/ and log into your Azure account.

2. In the Azure left navigation pane, click All services.

   

3. In the All services Filter field, type Route. The display changes to show only services with “Route” in their names.

   

4. Click Route tables.

5. On the Route tables page, click Add to create a new route table.

   The Create route table dialog displays.

   

6. In the Name field, type in a name for this route table.

7. For Subscription, select the subscription you are using in Azure.

8. For Resource group, select Create new if you are using the route table for other networks, or select Use existing if you are using the route table for this network only. If you select Use existing, you can use the drop-down menu to select the same resource group you are using for your NSv.

9. The Location field should already display the same location you selected for your NSv.

10. For BGP route propagation, accept the default of Enabled.

    

11. Click Create to create the route table. After a brief wait, Notifications displays Deployment succeeded and the new route table appears in the Route tables screen.

    

12. Click on the route table name.

13. In the route table screen, under SETTINGS, click Routes.

    

14. On the Routes screen, click Add to add a route to the route table.

15. In the Add route screen, for Route name, type in a descriptive name such as default_route.

16. For Address prefix, type in 0.0.0.0/0 to elect all traffic to be forwarded to the NSv.

17. For Next hop type, select virtual machine from the drop-down menu.

18. For Next hop address, type in the IP address of the NSv X0 interface.

    

19. Click OK. This creates the route.

20. Next, you need to associate the route table. In the Route table options, click Subnets.

    

21. In the Subnets screen, click Associate.

    

22. In the Associate subnet screen, click Virtual network. The resources with possible virtual networks are displayed to the right under Resource.

    

23. Click the desired resource. The display on the right changes to the Choose subnet screen and shows the possible subnets available for that resource.

    

24. Under Choose subnet, click LAN-X0. Because we entered the X0 IP address previously for Next hop address, the X0 subnet must be selected here.

25. Click OK at the bottom of the screen. Azure performs the association and the LAN-X0 subnet appears on the screen.

    

    This completes the configuration required for forwarding traffic through the NSv. Continue to Testing Traffic Through Your NSv.
