Guardium Deployment for Azure automatically turns on Accelerated Networking

Troubleshooting


Problem

When deploying a Guardium Image for Azure, the Azure feature "Accelerated Networking" is turned on by default on the Virtual Machine (VM) and traffic is seen coming into the collector on two interfaces.  This can increase network utilization.  

Symptom

The following symptoms are observed, if this feature is turned on:
  • Two Network Interface Controllers (NICs) are setup, even though one was configured. (Ex. eth0 was setup, but eth1 is seen as well)
    • These two NICs share the same MAC address.
    • Traffic is seen on both NICs.
