Deploy VM
---------

Deploy VyOS on Azure.

1. Go to the Azure services and Click to **Add new Virtual machine**

2. Choose vm name, resource group, region and click **Browse all public and
   private images**

3. On the marketplace search ``VyOS`` and choose the appropriate subscription

4. Generate new SSH key pair or use existing.

5. Define network, subnet, Public IP. Or it will be created by default.

8. Connect to the instance by SSH key.

  .. code-block:: none

    ssh -i ~/.ssh/vyos_azure vyos@203.0.113.3
    vyos@vyos-doc-r1:~$

Add interface
-------------

If instance was deployed with one **eth0** ``WAN`` interface and want to add
new one. To add new interface an example **eth1** ``LAN`` you need shutdown the
instance. Attach the interface in the Azure portal and then start the instance.

.. note:: Azure does not allow you attach interface when the instance in the
   **Running** state.

Absorbing Routes
----------------

If using as a router, you will want your LAN interface to absorb some or all of the traffic from your VNET by using a route table applied to the subnet.

1. Create a route table and browse to **Configuration**

2. Add one or more routes for networks you want to pass through the VyOS VM. Next hop type **Virtual Appliance** with the **Next Hop Address** of the VyOS ``LAN`` interface.

.. note:: If you want to create a new default route for VMs on the subnet, use **Address Prefix** ``0.0.0.0/0`` Also note that if you want to use this as a typical edge device, you'll want masquerade NAT for the ``WAN`` interface.

Serial Console
--------------

Azure has a way to access the serial console of a VM, but this needs to be configured on the VyOS. It's there by default, but keep it in mind if you are replacing config.boot and rebooting: ``set system console device ttyS0 speed '9600'``
